The disturbing incident has sparked widespread outrage, with calls for strict punishment for the accused.

The Crime: Murder Over a Heated Argument

Himani Narwal’s body was found stuffed in a suitcase on March 1, 2025, in Rohtak’s Sampla area.
The accused, Sachin, a mobile shop owner from Jhajjar, was arrested in Delhi following an intense manhunt.
Police investigation revealed that Sachin had been in contact with Himani for 1.5 years through social media.
On February 27, during a visit to Himani’s home in Vijay Nagar, Rohtak, the two got into an argument over money.
In a fit of rage, Sachin strangled Himani to death using a mobile charger wire.
After committing the crime, Sachin stole her jewellery, laptop, and ring, then escaped on her scooter to hide the stolen items at his shop in Jhajjar.
Later that night, he returned to the crime scene, packed her body into a black suitcase, and hired an auto-rickshaw to dispose of it near Sampla bus stand.

The auto driver was unaware of the crime, police confirmed.
