Ankita Bhandari case becomes the ground of Congress-BJP battle in Uttarakhand

“The MLA, acting on what he claimed, Dhami had instructions, demolished the resort where the girl was staying. She then released a video in which CM was thanked for her sensitive response. Even a serious crime in the form of tampering of a crime site, he proud about the subdivisions of Vanantara Resort in a social media post on 24 September.

Acting DGP Abhinav Kumar said that the decision was based on evidence.

Dasuni also pointed to “irregularities” in the BJP poster, which was widely broadcast on social media by party employees, claiming that the government had replaced the lawyers three times at the behest of the victim’s family, which provides jobs to Ankita’s families, ensuring that the bail of the accused was strengthened by the procession. “It was also incorrectly claimed that the accused was arrested within 24 hours, but it really took six days,” he said.

Claiming that VIP “Ankita had to die” that the Dhammi Sarkar was “preservation”, former CM Harish Rawat said that the Congress will re -establish the matter if voted in power in the 2027 assembly elections. Rawat told the Indian Express, “We will sit within 10 days of government formation … The incident is very important because Ankita sacrificed her life for honor. There is a common feeling among the people that the BJP government helped cover the matter,” Rawat said that Rawat said that the role of Bisht also needs to be investigated.

Following the court’s decision, Anikta’s father, Virendra Bhandari, called for the role of BJP MLA and VIP details, even Dhammi cited his government’s “Shankalap (Sankalp)”, which was to ensure justice for Ankita. “She was a daughter and sister of the mountains … Soon after the incident came to light, we directed the police to arrest the accused, and formed a sitting under the chairmanship of a woman IPS officer. Due to this, the accused was not granted bail and sentenced to jail. We are in contact with her family.”

The state BJP chief and Rajya Sabha MP Mahendra Bhatt also credited Dhami’s leadership for the decision and played the role of investigating agencies. “The CM made it clear that the culprits would be honored with strict punishment. All the action while working on their instructions – from investigation to testing – were held with the consent and participation of the victim’s family. Despite the high number of witnesses and evidence, justice was given in a minimum time frame,” he said.

An 18 -year -old Ankita was killed on September 18, 2022, a receptionist, 19 -year -old Ankita, a receptionist at the Venantara Resort to “offer special services” to the VIP guest to refuse to “offer”, whose identity has yet been revealed. While the Congress accused of “misconduct” in hiding the details of the guest, Ankita’s parents had transferred the Uttarakhand High Court to the CBI demanding the case. However, the petition was dismissed.

In this case, there were protests across the state after the case came to light with the Congress, demanding a CBI inquiry, accusing the BJP of tampering with evidence. Arya as well as his elder son Ankit, who was the Deputy Chairman of the OBC Commission, was expelled in view of the incident.

The Congress had raised the matter ahead of the Lok Sabha elections with its state head Karan Mahara, which requested the Election Commission (EC) to transfer DGP Kumar. He said, “Investigation of Ankita Bhandari’s heinous murder case is still going on, but the statement of the current DGP about the investigation, in which he has been found defending the government like the ruling party spokesperson, is against the dignity of his current post,” he said in his letter to the EC.

The BJP had gone to win all the five Lok Sabha seats in the state.
