Uttarakhand CM Recommends CBI Probe in Ankita Bhandari Murder Case Amid Protests

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has recommended a CBI investigation into the Ankita Bhandari murder case, respecting the victim's parents' request amid renewed protests and allegations of a 'VIP' involvement. The state government previously formed an SIT, leading to the conviction of three individuals with life sentences. The decision to recommend a CBI probe follows recent controversies, including leaked audio clips, and public pressure for a more thorough investigation into potential higher-level involvement. The Chief Minister emphasized the government's commitment to transparency and justice, stating no evidence will be overlooked.
