As we look to the future, let's also reflect on the past. Harshita Brella, a 24-year-old woman, was tragically found dead in the boot of a car in Ilford, east London. It was November 14th when her body was discovered, but it's believed she was strangled to death four days earlier in her home in Corby, Northamptonshire. The prime suspect in her murder is her husband, Pankaj Lamba, who is now being sought by authorities.
In a heart-wrenching interview, Harshita's mother, Sudesh Kumari, shared that her daughter had confided in her just weeks before her death about the abuse she was facing at the hands of her husband. Sudesh recalled Harshita saying, "I will not go back to him. He will kill me." This warning now holds heavy significance as Harshita's family grieves her loss.
Described as a "very simple, very innocent" person, Harshita was not one to fight with others. Her family believes that Lamba has fled to India, but they are frustrated with the lack of cooperation from the police in Delhi. Despite claiming they have not received a request from Northamptonshire Police to arrest Lamba, Harshita's family is adamant that he should face justice for her murder.
In another emotional interview, Harshita's father, Satbir Brella, could not hold back his tears as he spoke about his daughter. "She was a very sweet daughter," he said, expressing his love for her. As the investigation unfolds, more details about the couple's relationship have come to light. Harshita had previously told her parents about Lamba's abuse and even called her father in tears on August 29th, saying, "he beat me really badly." Despite this, Lamba was released on bail and a domestic violence protection order was put in place.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct is now investigating Northamptonshire Police's handling of Harshita's case. Meanwhile, an international manhunt is underway for Lamba. As her family continues to mourn their loss, they are also seeking answers and justice for Harshita. The pain of her absence is immeasurable, and their cries for help were not heard in time. Let us hope that this tragedy serves as a wake-up call to take domestic abuse seriously and prevent such senseless deaths from occurring in the future.
