Congress worker Himani Narwal’s mother said on Sunday that some people in the party might be involved in the “murder” of her daughter.
“My daughter sacrificed a lot for the Congress and party members used to visit our home. Some people in the party might be involved in the murder, as they may have felt threatened by Himani’s rising political career,” the victim’s mother, Savita, said.
Savita said her daughter Himani Narwal “was very close to Asha Hooda [wife of Bhupinder Singh Hooda].” Narwal’s brother Jatin said, “…She had undertaken padayatra with Rahul Gandhi…”
The body of Himani Narwal was found in a big blue suitcase near the Sampla bus stand in Rohtak, Haryana, on Friday, following which the information regarding this was provided to the Sampla police station.
Congress leader Srinivas BV alleged Himani “was brutally murdered by strangulation.” She was wearing a scarf and her hand’s had mehndi designs on them.
‘Election, party claimed my daughter’s life’
Savita, the mother of deceased Himani Narwal, earlier told news agency ANI, “…Election and party claimed my daughter’s life. She made some enemies due to that.”
“These [perpetrators] could be even from the party, they could be her friends too…,” the mother said.
“After election, she [Himani Narwal] had become a little disillusioned with the party. She said that she wanted a job and that she didn’t want to work much for the party…She was associated with Congress for the past 10 years. She had also agreed to get married. She was pursuing LL.B…I had called up Asha Hooda in the morning but my phone call was not received,” she told ANI.
Narwal’s mother said she won’t perform her last rites until her daughter gets justice.
‘Family dispute’
On reports of family dispute, the mother said, “Yes, there was [a family dispute], we lived in a little fear. I took my son to BSF camp from here…My elder son was killed in 2011 and we never received justice. So, I took him [another son] to BSF camp to save his life…”
