Dehradun, Dec 4: The Ankita Bhandari murder case involving the son of an expelled BJP leader, according to the Uttarakhand Police, is nearly over just the Narco tests of the accused remaining.
“An application will be filed in the court for the narco test of Ankita’s killers, including the main accused Pulkit Arya. Things will be clearer after the narco test is done. Our investigation is almost complete,” Chief Spokesperson of the Uttarakhand Police headquarters Additional Director General (ADG) V Murgeshan said addressing a press conference.
Before the authorities discovered her dead body, she had been reported missing for at least six days.
For his apparent involvement in the matter, the son of the ousted BJP politician was detained. Following criticism from the opposition parties over the incident, Vinod Arya was swiftly dismissed from the BJP government under Pushkar Singh Dhami, the chief minister.
Following an incident, Pulkit Arya was detained in connection with the case for allegedly pushing the woman into a canal. Ankit Gupta and Saurabh Bhaskar, two additional suspects, were also taken into custody.
On November 29, the Uttarakhand Police announced that its Special Investigation Team (SIT) was looking into the murder of Ankita Bhandari and had thought about subjecting all three suspects to a narco-analysis test.
Sona Devi and Virender Singh Bhandari, Ankita’s mother and father, had petitioned the Nainital High Court in November to have the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) look into the case.
The Gangster Act was utilised against the three defendants in the case, including primary defendant Pulkit Arya, amid requests from the victim’s family that the investigation be handed over to the CBI.
