Police in Ilford, East London, discovered a corpse in the boot of a silver Vauxhall Corsa parked on Brisbane Road early on November 11. Harshita Brella was found dead. She had vanished from her Northamptonshire home a few days prior. When the body was examined after death, it was discovered that she had been strangled.
Harshita Brella was a 24-year-old Indian woman who was born in Delhi and immigrated to the UK in April of this year after getting married to Indian origin Pankaj Lamba in August of the previous year. The authorities believe that Harshita was murdered by her husband, Pankaj, a 23-year-old who allegedly left the country soon afterward. Before being left behind, Harshita’s body, hidden in the car’s boot, had been driven 145 kilometres south to Ilford.
A post-mortem confirmed Harshita Brella, 24, died of strangulation.
Harshita Brella’s mother, Sudesh Kumari, spoke to the BBC and said her sister Sonia Dabas revealed that Harshita was excited to move to the UK in April after an arranged marriage with Pankaj Lamba.
Ms Brella’s father, Satbir Brella, said: “I want my son-in-law to be brought to justice and I want my daughter’s body brought home.”
Satbir described his daughter as a simple and serious young woman and said she wanted to be a teacher and would spend her days tutoring children in their home in Delhi, before turning to her own studies.
Ms Dabas explained that her sister and Mr Lamba had entered into an arranged marriage with a legal wedding held in August 2023 and the couple then had their traditional Indian ceremony on 22 March of this year before they left for the UK around 30 April settling in Corby, Northamptonshire.

“Our inquiries lead us to suspect that Harshita was murdered in Northamptonshire earlier this month by her husband Pankaj Lamba,” said Northampton Police.
When Harshita last spoke to her family on the evening of November 10, she informed them that she was preparing dinner and waiting for her husband to come home. When her phone didn’t work for two days, her family became concerned and on November 13 called Northamptonshire Police. When police arrived at her Skegness Walk house and saw no sign of her, an investigation was launched.
Her body was found in Ilford early on November 14, the following day. Pankaj had vanished by that point, eluding capture and leading to a global manhunt.

Investigation
Harshita had a history of domestic abuse, according to the murder inquiry. After experiencing assault, she was given a Domestic Violence Protection Order (DVPO) against her husband in September. But the threat persisted in spite of the judicial actions.
In the days prior to her passing, neighbours claimed to have heard disputes coming from the couple’s house. One recounted an especially heated exchange where a woman “sounded scared.”
In conversations with the media, Harshita’s Delhi-based family described their suffering. According to her father, Satbir Brella, she was a straightforward, driven young lady who wanted to become a teacher. She moved to the UK in April after marrying Pankaj in an arranged marriage. Sonia Dabas, Harshita’s sister, claims that Pankaj was a student in London and that she worked in a warehouse.
