Dehradun: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami today said the murder case of 19-year-old Ankita Bhandari will be tried in a fast-track court.
The Chief Minister also announced Rs 25 lakh as compensation for her family from the Pauri-Garhwal region.
Ankita, who worked as a receptionist at a resort near Rishikesh, was killed allegedly by since-expelled BJP leader Vinod Arya’s son Pulkit Arya, who owns the resort and two employees after she refused to provide “special services” to guests at the resort.
A missing complaint was lodged at a revenue police outpost. Acting on the complaint, police claimed to have cracked the case within 24 hours of being transferred from the revenue police to regular police.
मुख्यमंत्री श्री @pushkardhami ने अधिकारियों को दिवंगत अंकिता भंडारी के परिजनों को ₹25 लाख की आर्थिक सहायता देने के निर्देश दिए हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि पीड़ित परिवार को त्वरित न्याय मिल सके, इसके लिये फास्ट ट्रैक कोर्ट में सुनवाई के लिए माननीय न्यायालय से अनुरोध किया गया है।
