Three years after Ankita Bhandari's murder, candlelight vigils and planned protests are intensifying pressure on Uttarakhand's government. New allegations suggest a senior BJP leader, identified as "Gattu," sought sexual favors from Bhandari, with an audio clip implicating national general secretary Dushyant Gautam. Gautam denies involvement, and a former MLA claims the audio is AI-generated. Bhandari was allegedly killed by a resort manager for refusing such advances. The case highlights concerns over women's rights and informal sector employment in the state.
