Chandigarh: Authorities in Haryana on Sunday formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the death of Congress worker Himani Narwal whose body was found stuffed in a suitcase in Rohtak district.
Earlier, yesterday congress demanded a probe into the death of Himani Narwal, who was associated with party MP Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra.
The body was found stuffed in a suitcase near a bus stand in Sampla town on Saturday, police said.
“The SIT has been formed. Her phone has been recovered. We are taking the help of cyber and FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory),” Deputy Superintendent of Police Rajneesh Kumar told the media.
He said that the victim, who was pursuing an LLB (Bachelor of Law), used to live alone in the state, while her family was in Delhi. The postmortem has been done but her family members were not present at the mortuary to take the report or to take the body for cremation.
“The body was found in the bag. Later, she was identified as Himani Narwal…We called her family to the spot…We are investigating various angles and will solve the matter as early as possible,” Kumar said.
The victim’s mother blamed the elections and the party claimed her life. “The election and the party took my daughter’s life. Because of this, she made some enemies. They (the accused) could be from the party, could be her friends as well…On February 28, she was at home,” the victim’s mother Savita said.
“She was going with Rahul Gandhi and was close to the Hooda family, this is why people were having problems, they were jealous,” she added.
