Rohtak: In a significant breakthrough in the Himani Narwal murder case, the Haryana Police arrested one accused on Monday. The body of the Congress worker was discovered stuffed inside a suitcase near a highway in Rohtak on March 1. The police have now set up a Special Investigation Task Force (SIT) to probe the murder from all possible angles.
According to The Indian Express, two men were detained from Delhi on Sunday night in connection with the case, and after interrogation, one of them was formally arrested.
Sampla DSP Rajneesh Kumar, speaking to ANI, confirmed that the deceased’s phone had been recovered and that forensic and cyber investigations were underway. “An SIT has been formed. Her phone has been recovered. We are using cyber and FSL. We are investigating all angles,” he stated. Kumar also revealed that Narwal was residing alone in Haryana while her family stayed in Delhi.
Meanwhile, Narwal’s mother, Savita, has made explosive allegations, holding the Congress party and the ongoing elections responsible for her daughter’s tragic demise. Speaking to the media, she claimed that her daughter’s rising influence within the party had created enemies.
“The election and the party took my daughter’s life. Because of this, she made some enemies. These (the culprits) could be from the party, could be her friends as well… On February 28, she was at home,” she alleged.
Savita also highlighted Narwal’s close association with key Congress figures, including Rahul Gandhi and the Hooda family, which she believes might have fueled jealousy among some individuals.
“We received a phone call from the police station (about the incident). My daughter was very close to Asha Hooda (wife of Bhupinder Singh Hooda). I won’t perform her last rites until she gets justice,” she declared.
