Rohtak: A folk singer in Haryana, missing since last weekend, was found on Thursday with her throat slit in the fields of Rohtak district's Baniyani, which happens to be the native village of Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, whose government is under intense pressure over recent rapes and murders in the state.
Mamta Sharma's family blamed the police, accusing them of not acting on their missing complaint.
Her body was found by villagers yesterday afternoon.
Mr Kumar told the family that she claimed to know the people in the other car and, before switching, arranged to meet him at the event they were headed to. But she didn't turn up and her mobile phone was switched off.
On Monday, her son said, her mobile phone did ring and the family went to the police. "But the police did not take any action," he said.
Another Haryana folk singer was murdered in October.
Harshita Dahiya was shot in the head and neck at close range by men who blocked her car in Panipat and forced others with her to get out. The police said she had been killed on the orders of her brother-in-law, a notorious gangster.
