Continuing its protest against the brutal murder of Ankita Bhandari, the Congress party held a protest in Dehradun on Saturday. The Congress workers and leaders assembled at the Astley Hall on the day and burned the effigy of the State government. Speaking on the occasion, the working president of Mahanagar Congress Jasvinder Singh Gogi said that brutal murder of Ankita Bhandari is a matter of great concern for the security of women in the State. He said that since the resort where Ankita was working belonged to the son of a BJP leader, the State government is trying to cover up the case from day one. Gogi said that whenever such an incident happens the crime spot is sealed but in case a bulldozer was used in the middle of the night to destroy evidence. He said that the police and administration is shying away from disclosing the identity of the VIP who was scheduled to visit the resort and for whom Ankita was being pressured to provide ‘special service’.
The Congress workers demanded that the case should be handed over to the CBI immediately.
The spokesperson of Uttarakhand Congress Garima Dasauni, Godavari Thapli, Mahendra Guruji and others attended the protest.
