The police found 22-year-old Himani Narwal’s body stuffed in the suitcase on Saturday.

Former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda expressed deep shock over the woman’s death in Rohtak.

“The murder in this manner and finding her body in a suitcase is extremely sad and shocking. This in itself is a blot on the law and order of the state. There should be a high-level, impartial investigation into this entire case, and the culprits should receive the harshest punishment as soon as possible," Hooda said in a statement.

Hooda said that if any such incident occurs against women, the government and the entire law and order system should take exemplary action so that in the future, anyone with criminal tendencies will think a thousand times before committing such an act.

The senior Congress leader stated that this tragic incident has once again revealed that law and order has “completely collapsed" in the state.

Congress MLA Bharat Bhushan Batra demanded SIT probe into Narwal’s death. “This is extremely sad and shocking. An STI should be formed in this matter, and strict action should be taken against the accused. I pay my tribute to the departed soul and express my deepest condolences to the family members. She was a very active worker of the party," he said.
