On Uttarakhand teen’s murder case family to get Rs 25 lakh as compensation

Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami has announced compensation in the Ankita Bhandari murder case. A compensation of Rs 25 lakh has been announced to Ankita’s family members. This information has been given by the Chief Minister’s Office.

Ankita’s body was recovered from the Chila canal on 24 September. Ankita Bhandari was allegedly murdered by resort operator Pulkit Arya along with two of his employees, manager Saurabh Bhaskar and assistant manager Ankit Gupta, by pushing him into the Chila canal near Rishikesh.

Earlier, on September 23, in the missing Ankita case, the three accused who had confessed to killing her during interrogation were arrested.

Ankita Bhandari, 19, used to work as a receptionist at the Vantara Resort in Ganga Bhogpur in Yamkeshwar, Pauri district of Uttarakhand. Pulkit, the main accused in this case, is the son of Vinod Arya, a former BJP leader from Haridwar. Arya was expelled from the party by the BJP after the incident came to light.

There is anger in the entire state with this massacre where people blocked the Rishikesh-Badrinath National Highway in Srinagar for several hours demanding immediate execution of Ankita’s killers.

Thousands of people also attended Ankita’s funeral on Sunday evening on the banks of river Alaknanda and demanded justice for her.

Upset over her daughter’s murder, Ankita’s mother Soni Devi on Monday said that injustice has been done to her as she was not even allowed to see Ankita’s face at the last minute. She said, “What was the need to perform the last rites at night. When they had stopped us, they would have stayed for one more day. The biggest crime they (government) committed was that they didn’t even let me see my daughter’s face.”
