New Delhi: The Congress on Tuesday demanded a CBI probe into the Ankita Bhandari murder case in Uttarakhand, saying the BJP cannot hide the truth anymore and the names of those involved should come out.
Congress spokesperson and social media in-charge Supriya Shrinate said the slogan of “Give justice to Ankita Bhandari” is echoing across Uttarakhand.
She claimed that great injustice had been done to the daughter of the hills as she was pressured to indulge in immoral acts and when she refused, she was brutally murdered.
“To hide all the evidence in this case, a bulldozer was immediately run over that hotel because a BJP leader was involved.
“Now the truth is coming to light that this entire rape and murder incident reaches up to a senior BJP functionary. Along with the entire Uttarakhand, BJP people are also hoping for justice in the case,” Shrinate said.
She also alleged that the Uttarakhand government cannot deliver justice to Ankita Bhandari because it is in slumber.
“Therefore, our demand is that the investigation into the Ankita Bhandari case be handed over to the CBI. Ankita must get justice at any cost and that will happen only when the CBI investigates the case,” she said.
