Ankita Bhandari murder: Silence of PM Modi, BJP leaders shows their insensitivity, says Congress
India Today
The Congress on Monday said the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and all BJP leaders on Ankita Bhandari's murder shows their insensitivity.
The Congress on Monday said the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and all BJP leaders on the murder of the receptionist of a resort in Uttarakhand shows their insensitivity.
Addressing a press conference here, state Congress president Karan Mahara questioned the Special Investigation Team (SIT) set up to probe the case and said the party does not have faith in the police investigation.
The body of Ankita Bhandari (19), who worked at the Vanantara resort in Uttarakhand's Pauri district, was found in the Cheela canal close to Rishikesh on Saturday, six days after her parents reported her missing.
She was allegedly killed by Pulkit Arya, resort owner and former BJP leader and state minister Vinod Arya's son, and two other employees when she resisted their attempts to offer "special services" to customers.
Pulkit and his two accomplices have been arrested in the case.
Mahara said it is sad that neither did the prime minister make any statement on Uttarakhand's daughter nor did he tweet about it.
