Congress leader and former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat said on Sunday that his party supports the Haryana government in its investigation into the murder of Congress worker Himani Narwal, whose body was found stuffed in a suitcase near the Sampla bus stand in Rohtak on Saturday.
He added that the case should be treated as a law-and-order issue and not be politicized. "This is a question of law and order, which is the government's responsibility. The culprit should be caught. We stand with the government on this matter, but if it is politicized, it will be unfortunate. Murder is murder," Rawat told ANI. Haryana Police has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the case. Sampla DSP Rajneesh Kumar said, "An SIT has been formed. Her (the victim's) phone has been recovered, and we are using cyber and forensic teams to investigate all possible angles." According to the police, Narwal lived alone in Haryana while her family resided in Delhi. "Police reached the spot upon receiving information. The body was found inside a suitcase and was later identified as Himani Narwal. Her family was called to confirm the identification. We are examining various aspects of the case and will resolve the matter as soon as possible," DSP Rajneesh Kumar said. Himani Narwal's mother, Savita, alleged that politics and elections played a role in her daughter's murder. "The election and the party took my daughter's life. Because of this, she made some enemies. They (culprits) could be from the party or even her friends. On February 28, she was at home," she claimed. "Himani's stature in the party was growing. She was accompanying Rahul Gandhi and was close to the Hooda family. This made some people uncomfortable and jealous," her mother alleged. Meanwhile, Haryana Police have launched am investigation into the incident. They are also looking into the victim's personal and political connections to identify suspects. (ANI)
