A popular Haryanvi folk singer, 22-year-old Harshita Dahiya, was killed by yet unidentified assailants, on Tuesday, evening while she was returning to Delhi after a performance in Chamrara village of Panipat district. The case took an ugly turn on Wednesday, with Harshita’s sister Lata alleging that the murder was carried out on instructions of her husband.

Dahiya – who had in a video message posted on Facebook a few days before her murder claimed that she had been receiving threats to her life – was attacked while she was returning to Delhi with three others from a programme in Chamrara.

“When she was returning, a black car overtook her vehicle near Chamrara and forced it to stop,” Panipat Deputy Superintendent of Police Desh Raj told news agency PTI. The assailants reportedly asked Dahiya’s colleagues to step out of the vehicle following which they shot seven bullets at the singer, six of which hit her in the forehead and neck resulting in her instant death. The assailants then fled the spot, police sources said.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]The police had been suspecting that the murder was the result of some personal enmity. While Dahiya’s had herself alleged through the Facebook video that the she had been receiving threats from “some people in the industry, our own performers from Haryana”, the police had also been looking at the possibility of the involvement of her brother-in-law Dinesh Kumar (Lata’s husband) in the murder plot. Dahiya had filed a complaint against Dinesh Kumar, accusing him of raping her in 2013. Dinesh, who is currently lodged in Delhi’s Tihar Jail, is also the key accused in the murder of Dahiya’s mother in 2015.

With Dahiya’s sister Lata now claiming that the murder was carried out on the instructions of her husband Dinesh Kumar, the investigation in the case is likely to take an interesting turn.

Panipat Superintendent of Police Rahul Sharma confirmed that Dahiya had filed a complaint of rape against Dinesh Kumar and also that the singer was a key eyewitness in her mother’s murder case. Lata too has alleged that her sister was killed because she was a witness in their mother’s murder case in which Dinesh Kumar is the key accused.

The police are, however, also trying to ascertain the identity of the people who Dahiya had in her Facebook video accused of issuing threats to her.

In a YouTube video Dahiya had said: “There are some people from the industry, our own performers from Haryana, threatening me on the phone to compromise and delete the video (one she had live-streamed on Facebook on October 12) or else I will have to face the consequences.” In the Facebook live-video Dahiya had said that some people had outraged her modesty but claimed that she would reveal the identities of these people later.

2 killed as masked men open fire outside gym in Haryana’s Yamunanagar

In a tragic incident, two men were killed, and another was injured when unidentified armed miscreants opened indiscriminate fire on them in Haryana’s Yamunanagar on Thursday.

The incident was captured on CCTV and surfaced on social media, showing three victims exiting a gym and approaching their vehicle when 4-5 masked assailants arrived on motorcycles and fired multiple rounds at them. The attack occurred in Yamunanagar’s Lakha Singh Khedi.

Reportedly, while two of the men succumbed to their injuries, the third remains in critical condition and is undergoing treatment at a hospital. The assailants fled the scene after the attack, and an investigation has been initiated.

The police officials said that the motive for the killings is still unclear. The deceased, both in their mid-30s, have not been identified publicly yet.

Previously, on late Sunday night, three people, including a woman, were shot dead by unidentified assailants in the parking lot of a hotel in Haryana’s Panchkula, police said.

Reportedly, the victims were identified as Vicky and Vipin, both residents of Delhi, and Nia from Hisar. The police confirmed that the trio was killed by unknown attackers in the hotel’s parking area.

In another separate incident on December 8, a businessman was arrested on Sunday for allegedly killing his friend in Fatehabad on Saturday evening, police reported. The accused were identified as Palvinder alias Pampa, fatally shot Manoj Bansal, a 45-year-old originally from Jharkhand, at his shop. Manoj Bansal had been living with his family in Fatehabad for several years.

As per a complaint filed by the deceased’s nephew, Sandeep Kumar, another friend, Nishant Singla, informed him about the incident. Sandeep Kumar said that in the CCTV footage, it is clear that Palvinder took out his pistol and fired at his maternal uncle while sitting next to him on the bed. He said that three other people sitting there were shocked as Palvinder opened fire at his maternal uncle, adding that they had no enmity with him.

Furthermore, Fatehabad SHO Prahlad Rai confirmed that the accused had been arrested, and a murder case was registered. He added that they will determine the motive behind the killing during interrogation.

Hard work alone not enough, a time-bound and solid strategy necessary to strengthen Congress: Kharge at Belagavi meet

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday asserted the importance of not just hard work, but also a well-defined and timely strategy required to strengthen the grand old party, saying there is a need to give a chance to new power and to bring forth local and new leadership.

He outlined his vision for the upcoming year, declaring 2025 as the year for organisational empowerment, with plans to fill all vacant positions within the party and fully implement the Udaipur Declaration.

Kharge stressed that the organisation must be equipped with the skills necessary for electoral success, from the All India Congress Committee (AICC) to local booths.

He highlighted the need to include individuals who are ideologically committed and ready to defend the Constitution, as well as those who share the Congress Party’s vision of India. “These individuals must be integrated into the party’s activities and mainstream efforts.”

Addressing the party’s supporters at the meeting of the extended Congress Working Committee in Belagavi to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi’s presidency, Kharge noted the ongoing discussions from the previous Working Committee meeting on strengthening the organisation.

The Congress chief referred to the collective decision to actively combat the atmosphere of disappointment following electoral setbacks in Haryana and Maharashtra.

With determination and creativity, the Congress has managed to push the government back and rejuvenate the Opposition’s energy during the last parliamentary session.

Kharge acknowledged the power of ideas and the legacy of the Gandhi-Nehru lineage as vital to the party’s identity and future.

As the Congress reconvenes in Belgaum for the ‘Nav Satyagraha,’ Kharge expressed a resolve to challenge misleading narratives propagated by those in power, stating that “those who have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution have been the ones spreading falsehoods”.

He invoked Mahatma Gandhi’s belief that “Truth survives even when it does not have public support,” reaffirming the Congress’s commitment to truth alongside the overwhelming support of the people.

Kharge urged unity against the Opposition’s lies and called for a confident and bold approach to overcoming the challenges ahead, expressing optimism that the Congress will ultimately succeed in this endeavor.
