Haryana Police on Monday (March 3) informed that they have made an arrest in connection with the murder of Congress worker Himani Narwal. The Congress worker’s body was discovered stuffed inside a suitcase near Rohtak on Saturday, prompting the police to form a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to carry out a thorough probe into the case.
“We have arrested one accused and further investigations are on,” a Haryana police official said.
Meanwhile, the family of the Congress worker refused to cremate her body on Sunday saying that no last rites will be performed until her killers are arrested. Narwal lived at Vijay Nagar in Rohtak.
Narwal was an integral part of the party and the Haryana Congress leaders described her as an active and dedicated party worker. The 22-year-old worker, who was pursuing a law degree, also took part in the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra earlier.
Furthermore, Narwal’s mother Savita has alleged political conspiracy behind her daughter’s death. She said some leaders in Congress envied her political rise in a short span.
Narwal’s mother Savita, who spoke to reporters in Rohtak on Sunday, alleged that some leaders in her party envied her political rise in a short span.
“It could be anyone in the party who was jealous about her rise or it could be anyone else,” the mother, who spoke to reporters in Rohtak on Sunday, had said.
“Last time, I talked to her on February 27. She had said she would be busy with a party programme the next day, but later her phone was found switched off…till the time my daughter does not get justice, we won’t cremate her,” victim’s mother informed.
In view of the gruesome murder, former Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda spoke to Rohtak’s superintendent of police on the murder case. Hooda said that police and the government should ensure speedy justice for the victim’s family.
