The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has launched a probe into the murder of 19-year-old Ankita Bhandari, focusing on the potential involvement of an unidentified 'VIP'. The case emerged from a previous FIR initiated by state police, which detailed allegations that were later supported by audio and video evidence disseminated on social media.

This renewed interest was sparked by claims from an actress married to a legislator, suggesting that a powerful figure was linked to Bhandari's murder. Following these revelations, widespread protests have erupted, with various political parties and social groups demanding transparency and accountability from the government.

Ankita's parents, alongside environmentalist Anil Joshi, have advocated for a CBI-led investigation under Supreme Court oversight, raising concerns about possible concealed evidence in the case. The CBI's findings are expected to provide clarity, potentially confirming or refuting these allegations in their upcoming chargesheet.
