It added that “no power can stop justice from being served to the country's daughter, Ankita.'

The Congress party on Tuesday strongly criticised the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) led Uttrakhand government and the central government for not ordering a CBI investigation into the latest development in the Ankita Bhandari murder case. The 

Congress party in a post on its official X account, said, “The country is outraged over the sin committed against Ankita Bhandari in Uttarakhand. The name of BJP's national general secretary and Uttarakhand in-charge Dushyant Gautam is coming up in this case.”

Ankita Bhandari, a receptionist at the Vanantra Resort in Yamkeshwar, Pauri district, was murdered on September 18, 2022, when she allegedly refused to provide sexual favours to a "VIP". She was murdered by Pulkit Arya, the manager of the resort. 

Congress said that both the state and the central governments are “avoiding a fair investigation in this matter. Efforts are being made to protect the culprits.”

It added that “no power can stop justice from being served to the country's daughter, Ankita.’

Congress demanded a CBI investigation into the case and strict punishment for the culprits. 

Member of Congress Working Committee, Supriya Shrinate, in a separate post, alleged that to erase evidence, a “bulldozer was immediately run over that hotel, because the son of a BJP leader was involved in it”.

The development came after Actress Urmila Sanawar released videos of herself and audio recordings, alleging that the 'VIP' in the Ankita murder case is a BJP leader named 'Gattu'.

Meanwhile, BJP leader Dushyant Gautam has filed a defamation petition against the Congress, the Aam Aadmi Party, actress Urmila Sanawar, and others, including several X account holders, for allegedly accusing him of being involved in the murder case
