What Happened
The parents of Ankita Bhandari were detained during a protest near India Gate and subsequently released. They are demanding that Dushyant Kumar Gautam’s appointment as Sikkim Governor be put on hold until the ongoing CBI investigation into the alleged “VIP” angle in their daughter’s murder case is completed.
Key Takeaways
The family and activists have alleged that Dushyant Kumar Gautam was linked to the unidentified “VIP” angle in the case. These allegations remain unproven, and Gautam has denied them and initiated defamation proceedings. Meanwhile, resort owner Pulkit Arya and two accomplices have already been convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for Ankita Bhandari’s murder.
