In the fall of 2022, Uttarakhand was rocked by the tragic murder of Ankita Bhandari, a receptionist whose death became a high-profile case due to viral media clips and allegations involving VIPs. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is now ramping up its probe to uncover the truth.

The CBI has collected crucial documents, including reports from the Special Investigation Team, following a formal request for investigation by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. As part of their intensified efforts, the CBI is poised to interview Dr. Anil Prakash Joshi, a notable complainant in the case.

With public outcry mounting and demands for justice echoing across the state, the Chief Minister assured the victim's family of the government's support. The case has already seen convictions, but questions about the alleged involvement of influential figures keep the public and authorities on alert.
