Himani shot into the limelight after images of her walking with Congress MP Rahul Gandhi during his Bharat Jodo Yatra went viral.On Sunday, the Haryana Police formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT), led by Sampla DSP Rajnish Kumar, to probe the murder case.Her family had initially refused to cremate her body until the killers were arrested. Following the suspect’s arrest, they are now demanding the death penalty for the accused.”The accused has been arrested, and now we will cremate Himani. We want the death penalty for the accused,” said Jatin, Himani’s younger brother.Meanwhile, Himani’s mother, Savitha Narwal, claimed that her daughter did not have a boyfriend.“She used to tell me everything. Everyone knew her, and there is a big difference between a friend and a boyfriend. She kept herself and her friends within limits. She would not do anything wrong to anyone, whether it was a college friend or someone from the party,” she said.She added, “The last time I spoke to her was on February 27. She told me she would be busy with a party programme the next day, but later, her phone was found switched off.”A board of doctors at Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS), Rohtak, conducted the post-mortem examination. While the autopsy report is awaited, her body remains in the mortuary as the family has refused to collect it.Congress leader and party MLA from Rohtak BB Batra said Narwal was a ‘very good and active’ worker and used to participate in various programmes of the party.”Those who have committed the crime should be severely punished,” Batra said.(With inputs from Harpreet Bajwa)
