The brother of the deceased, Jatin, demanded death penalty for the accused after he was arrested.

“One accused has been arrested, and today we will cremate her (Himani Narwal). A lot of rumours are being spread in the media. I request the media not to spread misinformation. We will get justice. We still don't know who the accused is; the police have not given us any information. We want the death penalty for the accused,” he told ANI news agency.
