Himani Narwal murder: 1 accused arrested for killing of Haryana Cong worker

The Haryana Police on Monday said they have arrested one person in connection with the murder of Congress worker Himani Narwal.

Narwal’s body was found inside a suitcase near Sampla bus stand on Rohtak-Delhi highway on March 1. On Sunday, the Haryana Police had set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the murder of the 23-year-old Congress worker. Four teams of the Rohtak Police were looking for the culprits, PTI quoted a police official.

Narwal lived at Vijay Nagar in Rohtak. Her body, which was found in a suitcase in Rohtak district on Saturday, bore some injury marks, police said.

Narwal’s family refuse to cremate daughter
Narwal’s family said they will not cremate her till killers are arrested. Her mother Savita 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 was accompanied by her son Jatin, said.

Haryana Congress leaders described Narwal as an active and dedicated party worker, who also took part in Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra earlier. They said she was pursuing law degree and had been associated with the party for the last nearly a decade.
