Sandeep Dikshit backs Congress demand for “high-level probe” after woman party worker's body found in Rohtak

New Delhi [India], March 2 (ANI): Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit on Sunday reiterated the demand by the Haryana unit of the party demanding a high-level probe into the incident in which the body of a party worker was found stuffed into a suitcase in Rohtak district.

The body of the woman was found in a big blue suitcase near the Sampla bus stand on Friday, following which the information regarding this was provided to the Sampla police station. The woman's hands had mehndi designs on them.

Congress MLA Bharat Bhushan Batra alleged that the deceased was Congress worker, Himani Narwal, who had accompanied the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, during the Bharat Jodo Yatra. Batra added that Narwal was pretty active with Bhupinder Hooda and Deepinder Hooda during the election campaign. 

Speaking with ANI, Sandeep Dikshit urged the BJP-led government to take the incident seriously, given the doubts of a political motive.

“If there are any doubts of any political angle, then the government should take it seriously and police should investigate properly. If Haryana Congress has demanded for a high-level investigation, then it means there are doubts on the low-level investigation. I also demand for the same,” Dikshit said. 

Sampla police station SHO Bijendra Singh said that it seems the girl was murdered before her body was placed in the suitcase and thrown on the road. The body was sent to PGIMS Rohtak for post-mortem examination.

Congress Haryana president Bhupinder Singh Hooda condemned the incident terming it a "blot on the law and order situation of the state." He has also demanded a "high-level" and "impartial" probe into the incident. 

"There should be a high level impartial investigation of this murder and the government should provide justice to the victim's family as soon as possible and provide the harshest punishment to the culprits," he added. (ANI)
