Uttarakhand Minister Ready for Ankita Bhandari Probe if Credible Evidence Emerges

  • Uttarakhand minister Subodh Uniyal stated the government is ready for any probe into the Ankita Bhandari murder case if credible evidence is presented.
  • The statement comes amid Congress's demand for a CBI inquiry following new allegations involving a "VIP" in the 2022 murder.
  • A woman, Urmila Sanawar, claiming to be former MLA Suresh Rathore's wife, identified the "VIP" as 'Gattu' (Dushyant Kumar Gautam, BJP general secretary).
  • Uniyal defended the SIT probe, citing its validation by trial, high, and Supreme Courts, which found no VIP involvement.
  • He hinted at a political conspiracy to benefit convicts, questioning the timestamp-less video and lack of evidence in new allegations.

Why It Matters: Uttarakhand minister offers new probe into Ankita Bhandari case only if credible evidence is provided.
