“ ABP Exclusive | Harshita Brella’s Family Travels To UK Seeking Justice Nearly Two Years After Her Death
Harshita Brella’s family has travelled to the UK to appeal to British authorities to step up efforts to bring her alleged killer to justice, nearly two years after the 24-year-old’s death shocked both India and the United Kingdom.
In an emotional interview with ABP Live, Harshita’s mother, Sudesh Kumari, and sister, Sonia Dabas, spoke openly about their grief, frustration over the slow pace of the investigation, and their belief that both British and Indian authorities failed to protect her.
Harshita, originally from Delhi, moved to the UK in 2024 after an arranged marriage to Pankaj Lamba. The couple settled in Northamptonshire, where Harshita hoped to build a successful life and career abroad. According to her family, she was ambitious, hardworking, and deeply committed to supporting her parents.
However, within months of arriving in Britain, her family says Harshita began experiencing domestic abuse and coercive control within her marriage. In November 2024, her body was discovered in the boot of a car in East London. British police later named her husband as the prime suspect after he allegedly fled to India, sparking an international manhunt and drawing widespread attention to the case.
“She wanted to take care of us in our old age,” her family said during the interview. “She had so many dreams.”
