In a major breakthrough in the Himani Narwal murder case, Haryana Police arrested one accused on Monday. The Congress worker's body was found inside a suitcase near a highway in Rohtak on March 1. Meanwhile, the police have formed a Special Investigation Task Force to probe into Narwal's murder.
According to a report by The Indian Express, the police detained two men from Delhi on Sunday night in connection with the murder case. During the questioning, one of the men was arrested.
"An SIT has been formed. Her phone has been recovered. We are using cyber and FSL. We are investigating all angles," Sampla DSP Rajneesh Kumar said as quoted by ANI, He further informed that the deceased lived alone in Haryana while her family stayed in Delhi.
The deceased worker's mother made some shocking allegations. The mother, Savita, held the election and the party responsible for her daughter's death, suggesting that Narwal's rising stature in the party had created enemies for her, reported the news agency.
According to Savita, her daughter was at home on February 28 and had been receiving threats. Savita believes that Narwal's close relationships with prominent Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and the Hooda family, had sparked jealousy among some individuals.
"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," Savita said.
"We received a phone call from the Police Station (regarding 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 added.
