Pithoragarh's 'Nanni Pari' Case: Dhami Govt Faces Heat Over Justice Delay, Protests Loom

• The 'Nanni Pari' (Kashish) murder case from 2014, involving brutality, resurfaces after 11 years, drawing parallels to the Ankita Bhandari case.
• Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami's assurance to file a Supreme Court review petition 112 days ago remains unfulfilled, frustrating the victim's family.
• The victim's uncle, Tara Chand, criticizes the government for mere "paperwork" and calls for public protests for justice.
• Congress leader Mahendra Lunthi attacks the government, threatening a Pithoragarh bandh and a statewide movement if justice is delayed.
• The Supreme Court acquitted accused Akhtar Ali in 2023 due to "circumstantial" evidence and alleged police negligence, despite lower courts sentencing him to death.
