Sarena Parmar on The Border - Tonight!!

9 p.m. on CBC - The Border

Khali becomes personally involved in the case of Mina Diwan, a strong-willed Indian 18-year-old, who arrives in Canada looking for her "runaway groom". Using a false identity, Anwar Singh had married Mina in the Punjab and stolen her family's $50,000 dowry. Unwilling to return to her strict Indian family, Mina seeks out Canadian relatives to sponsor her for citizenship, but they, too disapprove of Mina's modern ways. ICS learns that one of Anwar's previous brides is missing and presumed dead. When Mina goes missing, Khali and the Squad must race to save her.
