Discovery of the Crime: Young Model Murdered, Body Recovered from Sonipat Canal
A horrifying murder has rattled Haryana after Sheetal, a twenty-four-year-old model breaking into the state’s music scene, was found in a canal near Kharkhoda, Sonipat, her throat cut. Known on stage as Simmi Chaudhary, she had vanished days earlier, and worried relatives in Panipat alerted police when she missed rehearsals after a video shoot. Investigators located her remains in the Reliance Canal and later confirmed her identity by the tattoos on her wrist and chest.
The Victim: Sheetal’s Journey from Hotel Employee to Emerging Star
Sheetal grew up in Khalila Majra village near Panipat and only recently entered the Haryanvi music world after leaving a hotel job in Karnal. Driven by ambition, she traded room service for photo shoots, winning notice and small roles almost overnight. Her brutal killing has stunned relatives and neighbors, who mourn the bright future snuffed out far too soon.
Timeline: From Missing Report to Tragic Discovery
The timeline surrounding Sheetal’s vanishing chills the bones almost as much as the crime. She set off on June 14 for a music video shoot in Ahar village and simply never showed up. Later that evening her sister Neha received a shaky call in which Sheetal said Sunil—a friend turned foe—was attacking her and insisting they leave together. The line cut without warning, and Neha could not reach her sister again. The following morning police found Sunil’s car in a canal; the vehicle was empty, and Sheetal was still missing.
Investigation: Suspects, Motive, and Police Action
Officers have opened a murder probe, treating the case like a possible killing while chasing every lead. Sheetal’s family already blames Sunil, her ex-boss from the hotel days, for her death. Neha claims Sunil stalked her sister after she ended their link upon discovering he had a wife and kids. Sunil now lies in the hospital, pulled from the water, and detectives are working to catch everyone else involved.
Community Reaction and the Call for Justice
Sheetal’s shocking murder has set off angry protests across Haryana, with people in the local modeling and music-video scene leading the shout. Neighbors and industry friends now want police to move fast and give stricter rules to guard women who work on stage or screen. Beyond that private grief, the killing has reopened wide talk about harassment, safety on the street, and the weak enforcement that still leaves many public workers exposed.
Conclusion: A Grim Reminder of Ongoing Dangers
The loss of Sheetal serves again as a hard wake-up call about the risks women face when they step into the public eye, whether as actors, singers, or dancers. While detectives chase leads, her relatives and those who knew her cling to a simple prayer for fair answers and quick justice, hoping this moment finally pushes Haryana’s leaders to protect future artists before more lives are cut short.
