Rohtak Shocked by Himani Narwal's Murder; Body Found in Suitcase Near Sampla Bus Stand. Brother Alleges Lack of Cooperation from Administration.
Himani Murder Case: The murder of Congress worker Himani Narwal has sent shockwaves through Rohtak, Haryana. Her body was discovered around 11 am on Saturday morning inside a blue suitcase found on the roadside near the Sampla bus stand in Rohtak. The murder has caused widespread consternation in the area.
Body Found in Suitcase, Injuries on Face
Himani's face was blue, and her lips were bloodied. This suggests she was brutally beaten before being strangled with a scarf. It is suspected that the perpetrators dumped the suitcase in the deserted area under the cover of darkness.
Himani's Brother Reveals Key Details
Jatin, the deceased Himani Narwal's brother, has given a statement. He revealed that the suitcase containing Himani's body belonged to his family. Hinting at a possible political conspiracy, Jatin stated, "The perpetrator might be someone within the Congress party. Perhaps someone was envious of Himani's progress."
Jatin also mentioned his own participation in Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' for a few days.
Accusations of Lack of Cooperation from the Administration
Jatin questioned the administration's response, stating, "The administration is not cooperating. If they had cooperated, the perpetrators would have been apprehended by now." He also expressed his dissatisfaction with the Congress leadership, saying that no senior Congress leader had visited them; only two women workers had come to meet them.
He further stated that he had called Asha Hooda, wife of former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupendra Singh Hooda, but she didn't answer. An emotional Jatin said, "I have lost my father, brother, and sister. Only my mother and I are left. I plead for justice for my sister."
Bhupendra Singh Hooda Expresses Grief
Former Haryana Chief Minister and Congress leader Bhupendra Singh Hooda expressed his sorrow over Himani Narwal's murder. He tweeted:
"The news of the brutal murder of Himani Narwal, an active Congress worker in Rohtak, is extremely saddening and shocking. I offer my condolences to her family and pay tribute to her soul."
Demand for SIT Formation to Investigate
Congress MLA from Rohtak, Bharat Bhushan Batra, given the seriousness of the matter, has demanded the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) for a swift investigation. He stated that Himani was an active Congress worker and had met him just three days prior, appearing cheerful. The news of her murder is deeply saddening.
Political Enmity as a Motive?
Himani Narwal was an active member of the Congress and steadily rising within the party. This raises questions about whether political rivalry played a role in her murder. The police are investigating all aspects of the case. Pressure is mounting on the administration for an impartial investigation.
