The Haryana Police on Monday said they have arrested one person in connection with the murder of Congress worker Himani Narwal.

The accused belonged to a village in Jhajjar district and he was known to the deceased Himani Narwal. We will produce the man before the court and seek his remand to ascertain the reasons behind the gruesome murder. Prima facie it seems that some grudge took place between the accused and Himani,” a senior police official told HT.

Narwal’s body was found inside a suitcase near Sampla bus stand on Rohtak-Delhi highway on March 1.

On Sunday, the Haryana Police had set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the murder of the 23-year-old Congress worker. Four teams of the Rohtak Police were looking for the culprits, PTI quoted a police official.

Narwal lived at Vijay Nagar in Rohtak. Her body, which was found in a suitcase in Rohtak district on Saturday, bore some injury marks, police said.
