Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has recommended a CBI investigation into the Ankita Bhandari murder case, following a request from her parents. The parents demanded a CBI probe under Supreme Court supervision, citing the alleged involvement of an unknown 'VIP'. Opposition parties, including the Congress, have also called for a CBI inquiry, alleging the ruling BJP seeks to protect its leaders. The state government stated its commitment to ensuring justice and highlighted the swift arrest and life imprisonment of the accused by an SIT. Recent audio clips have fueled further controversy, with claims of pressure to name a BJP leader as the 'VIP'.
