A young bank employee from Haryana was found murdered late Sunday night after her throat was allegedly slit while she was travelling with her husband, prompting a police investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.

The victim, identified as Mahak, was a resident of Hansi and worked at HDFC Bank in Gurugram. According to initial reports, she was travelling to Gurugram by car with her husband, Anshul, on Sunday evening when the incident occurred between Hansi and Badli. Police said the husband himself informed authorities about the killing around 11 pm on February 15.

Mahak, who was reportedly pregnant, is suspected to have been attacked on the neck with a pair of scissors. Her body was later taken to Bahadurgarh Civil Hospital for post-mortem examination. Police are currently probing the case, and her husband is being treated as the prime suspect at this stage, though officials say all angles are being examined.

The couple had an arranged marriage in September last year and were both working in Gurugram, with Anshul employed as a chartered accountant. On February 14, they had visited Hisar for Valentine’s Day and left for Gurugram by car at around 7 pm on Sunday. A few hours later, the incident was reported to the police.

Mahak was the youngest among three siblings. Her father, Krishna Kathuria, runs a vegetable business in Hansi’s local market. Anshul is a resident of Sector 14 in Hisar, and his father, Ramesh Dhawan, works as an accountant in the city’s cloth market. It was Anshul’s father who informed Mahak’s family about the incident late at night.

Police teams reached the spot soon after receiving the call and have launched an investigation to ascertain the exact sequence of events and the motive behind the killing.
