Sources claimed that the tragic incident is the latest in a series of such events that have plagued Himani's family. Her elder brother was brutally murdered 14 years ago, and four years later, her father took his own life. He was a BSF employee, and after his death, Himani's mother took up his job in Delhi.

Himani's mother has demanded justice for her daughter, stating that she had put her life at risk by pursuing clean politics. Her brother, Jatin, has also appealed for justice, revealing that the suitcase belonged to their family and that the culprit may have been jealous of Himani's rapid rise in the Congress party.
