Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, while answering the questions asked on the Ankita Bhandari case during the press conference held at the media center located at the Secretariat, said that providing justice to Uttarakhand’s daughter Ankita has been the top priority of the state government and in this direction the government has worked with complete seriousness, sensitivity and transparency.

CM Pushkar Singh Dhami said that for a fair and thorough investigation of this heinous crime, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed under the chairmanship of woman officer Renuka Devi, which investigated all aspects of the case in depth. As a result of the government’s strong and effective court advocacy, all three convicts have been sentenced to life imprisonment.

He said that not only the lower court, but also the High Court and the Supreme Court have expressed satisfaction over the investigation of the SIT constituted by the state government, which shows the impartiality and strength of the investigation.

Chief Minister Dhami said that at present an attempt is being made to create an unnecessary atmosphere in the state on the basis of some alleged audio clip, whereas the reality is that the judicial process has reached its conclusion with full seriousness and the culprits have been given severe punishment.

On the subject of CBI investigation, the Chief Minister clarified that although the sentiments of the people of the entire state are with daughter Ankita, her parents are the most affected by this tragic incident. He said that he himself will talk to Ankita’s parents and any further decision will be taken keeping in mind their feelings, pain and expectations.

Chief Minister Dhami reiterated that the state government is fully committed to the safety, respect and justice of daughters.

He said that being the chief servant of the state, I will talk to sister Ankita’s parents in the matter and they will pursue whatever they want for justice for their daughter as per the law. The government is not going to back down from any kind of investigation.

Ankita Bhandari is our daughter and her justice has been given top priority. With this commitment, such strict action was ensured against the criminals that today they are serving life imprisonment.
