New Delhi, March 3 (NationPress) A suspect was apprehended in relation to the homicide of Congress worker Himani Narwal, whose remains were discovered within a suitcase, sources reported on Monday.
Narwal's body was located inside a suitcase in the Rohtak district on Saturday, prompting the Haryana Police to establish a special investigation team (SIT) to examine the murder.
Her family has refused to perform her last rites until her murderers are brought to justice.
Narwal resided in Vijay Nagar in Rohtak. Her remains were found near a bus stand in Sampla.
“The SIT has been activated. Her mobile phone has been retrieved. We are collaborating with cyber experts and the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL),” stated Deputy Superintendent of Police Rajneesh Kumar to the press on Sunday.
He mentioned that the victim, who was studying for an LLB (Bachelor of Law), lived independently in the state while her family resided in Delhi.
“The body was found in the suitcase. Subsequently, she was identified as Himani Narwal... We summoned her family to the scene… We are exploring various angles and will resolve the case as soon as possible,” Kumar added.
The victim’s mother expressed that the party was responsible for her daughter’s demise. “The elections and the party contributed to my daughter's death, leading her to make some enemies. The perpetrators could be affiliated with the party, or they might be her acquaintances as well... She was at home on February 28,” stated the victim’s mother, Savita.
“She was involved with Rahul Gandhi and had close ties with the Hooda family, which may have sparked jealousy among others,” she further elaborated.
Former Chief Minister and Congress leader Bhupinder Hooda demanded a thorough investigation on Saturday. “The manner of this girl’s murder and discovering her body in a suitcase is profoundly tragic and alarming. It highlights a serious issue within the law and order framework of the state. A high-level, unbiased investigation into this murder is imperative, and the government must ensure justice for the victim's family promptly while delivering the harshest penalties to the offenders,” Hooda stated.
