In a major update, Haryana Police arrested one accused on Monday in connection with the murder of Congress worker Himani Narwal, as confirmed by PTI.
Himani Narwal's body was found stuffed in a suitcase in Rohtak on 🗹Saturday after which the Haryana Pol💦ice set up a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the murder.
According to news agency PTI, a Haryana police official said, "We have ar🐼rested one accused and f💝urther investigations are on."
The family of Nꦇarwal on Sunday refused to cremate her body until her killers were arrested. Narwal lived at Vijay Nagar ꦇin Rohtak.
Reports suggest that Haryana Congress leaders had described Narwal as an active and dedicated party worker, who also took part in the Rahul Ganཧdhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra earlier. They said s♉he was pursuing a law degree.
Narwal's mother Savita, who spoke to reporters in Rohtak on Sunday, al൩leged 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, had said, as quoted by PTI.
"Last time, I talked to her on February 27. She had said she would be busy with a party programme the next day, but 𝓀later her phone was♎ found switched off. Till the time my daughter does not get justice, we won't cremate her," she stated.
Former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda Sunday said he spoke to Rohtak's superintendent of police on the murder ca🌌se, adding that police and the government should ensure speedy justice for the victim's family.
Congress leader and party MLA fro��m Rohtak B B Batra had said Narwal was a "very good and active" worker of the partyꦆ and used to participate in various programmes of the party.
"Those who have committed the crime should be severely punished," Batra said.
