Government

India — Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has recommended a United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the Murder of Ankita Bhandari murder case, responding to persistent demands from Murder of Ankita Bhandari's parents and widespread public protests across India — Uttarakhand. Murder of Ankita Bhandari, a 19-year-old receptionist, was murdered in September 2022 by resort owner Pulkit Arya and two employees, who were subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment. The decision for a CBI inquiry comes amid allegations of VIP involvement and the circulation of audio clips, which have intensified political pressure from opposition parties like the India — Indian National Congress. Pushkar Singh Dhami emphasized the government's commitment to fair and transparent justice, stating that no facts or evidence would be ignored.
