The Haryana Police have arrested one suspect in the brutal murder of 23-year-old Congress worker Himani Narwal. The accused, a resident of Jhajjar district, was known to Narwal. Police suspect a personal dispute as the motive and will present the accused in court for further questioning.

Narwal’s body was discovered inside a suitcase near Sampla bus stand on the Rohtak-Delhi highway on March 1. She had injury marks, suggesting a violent attack. In response, the police set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT), with four teams actively working on the case.

Her grieving family refuses to perform her last rites until all culprits are arrested. Her mother, Savita Narwal, believes her daughter’s rapid political rise made her enemies within the party. “It could be someone jealous of her success,” she said.

Himani was a dedicated Congress worker who took part in Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra. She had been involved in politics for nearly a decade while also pursuing a law degree.

Congress leaders described her as hardworking and passionate, calling her murder a huge loss. Meanwhile, the investigation continues, as questions remain over who was behind the killing and why.
