Rahul Gandhi Slams BJP Over Ankita Bhandari Murder Case

Rahul Gandhi Slams BJP Over Ankita Bhandari Murder Case

Ankita Bhandari was a 19-year-old woman who worked at a resort called Vanantara Resort in Uttarakhand.

In September 2022, she went missing, and her body was later found in a canal.

Some very important guests at the resort asked her to do things that were wrong, and she said no.

Because she refused, she was hurt and drowned in the canal.

A doctor's report after her death showed signs of violence and drowning.

Three people were arrested for the crime, including the owner of the resort, and they were found guilty.

A leader named Rahul Gandhi says the state government is still protecting the special guest involved in the case because he is a leader of a political group called the BJP-RSS.

Mr. Gandhi says this is wrong and that the government has a 'warped mentality' of protecting criminals.

He met Ankita's family and said they are still waiting for justice after four years.

Mr. Gandhi wrote about this on the social media app X.
