A 42-year-old Sikh adventurer originally from Punjab and settled in Canada has died in a road accident in Peru while undertaking a solo motorcycle expedition around the world.
Raghbir Singh Bharowal, who lived in Surrey, British Columbia, had embarked on an ambitious global ride that he called the “Flying Khalsa World Tour.” The journey began nearly three months ago and was planned as a long-distance motorcycle expedition across 31 countries.
Bharowal, a regulated Canadian immigration consultant and father of three, had set out alone on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. According to family members, he intended to return briefly to Canada after completing the first phase of the journey before continuing the rest of the tour.
Concern about his safety grew when relatives lost contact with him earlier this week. The last update from Bharowal came three days before communication stopped, when he shared a short video clip from Peru on social media during his travels.
When repeated calls and messages went unanswered, the family began reaching out to contacts and authorities to trace his whereabouts. On Tuesday, they received confirmation that he had been killed in a road accident in a South American country.
The news has left family members and the Indo-Canadian community stunned. Surrey-based journalist Gurpreet Singh Sahota said relatives had been anxiously awaiting information after losing touch with Bharowal, and the confirmation of his death has deeply saddened those who knew him.

Authorities have not yet released detailed information about the circumstances of the crash. The family is now working with officials to arrange for the return of his mortal remains to Canada.
