Harshita Brella's death sparks outrage as husband goes missing

In England, Harshita Brella, a 24-year-old woman, was discovered dead in the boot of a car on November 14, sparking a police investigation. Her husband, 23-year-old Pankaj Lamba, emerged as the primary suspect in her murder, after a series of events stemming from an earlier domestic abuse report. Brella's family revealed that she had confided in them about Lamba's controlling behavior, which escalated over time. This included restricting her from working and significant pressure to withdraw accusations following his arrest for domestic violence on September 3. After being released on bail, Brella's situation deteriorated, presumed to have been strangled in Corby on November 10 before her body was transported to Ilford. Authorities are now attempting to locate Lamba, amidst allegations that he has fled to India, where he is believed to be in a 'safe place.' The Independent Office for Police Conduct announced an investigation into the police's handling of Brella's domestic abuse report and the subsequent events leading to her tragic death. Reports indicate that police were alerted to Brella's plight by her sister, who noted troubling signs in their relationship and the severity of Lamba's control. Brella's family is grieving, expressing that she will always remain in their hearts.
