Maha: Raut alleges BJP functionary shielded in Ankita Bhandari murder case

Mumbai, Oct 15 (UNI) Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut today alleged that a BJP functionary is being shielded in the Ankita Bhandari murder case and criticised the Centre over the appointment of Dushyant Gautam as Governor of Sikkim.
Addressing a press conference here, Raut recalled that Ankita Bhandari, a 19-year-old woman, worked as a receptionist at a resort in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand. On September 18, 2022, she left the resort after completing her work but did not return home. Her parents subsequently filed a missing-person complaint, following which her body was recovered from the Chila canal.
The Sena (UBT) leader said Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi had met Ankita's parents and discussed the case with them. He alleged that her parents were arrested by police around 4 am after they staged a protest at India Gate, while Gautam was appointed Governor of Sikkim.
