My husband killed Harshita Dahiya, alleges Haryanvi singer's sister

FWS - A day after Haryanvi singer Harshita Dahiya was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Haryana's Panipat, sister Lata has accused her husband of killing the 22-year-old since she was a witness in her mother's murder case.

Panipat DSP Desh Raj said, "A team has been formed. Investigation into the case is underway. We will slowly but surely get to the bottom of the matter."

Harshita was shot while she was on her way back home in a car around 4.30 pm on Tuesday after her performance at a function in Chamrara village in Israna block of Panipat, police said. A black car overtook her vehicle near Chamrara, forcing it to stop. The attackers fired 7 bullets at her, 6 of which hit Harshita's forehead and neck, resulting in her death on the spot, police added. There were three other people in Harshita's car but they were not targetted by the attackers.

The assailants fled from the scene after killing her.

Harshita, who was living in New Delhi's Narela area, was a performer who sang Haryanvi 'Ragini' songs and was also a dancer. She hailed from neighbouring Sonepat, which is around 165 kilometres from Panipat, and had in a mobile video posted recently said that she was getting death threats but that she was not afraid.

Whether she had complained to the police regarding threat to her life is not known yet. Police have said that they are carrying out raids to arrest the culprits.(indiatoday)
