Investigation and trial of the case

Pulkit was the owner of Arya Vantara Resort, where Ankita was mysteriously missing on 18 September 2022. Later, his body was recovered from a canal, causing resentment across the state.
The SIT was constituted to investigate the case, which filed a charge sheet of more than 500 pages. A total of 97 witnesses were nominated in it, out of which the prosecution introduced 47 witnesses.
Pulkit Arya has been framed under sections 302 (murder), 201 (eradication of evidence), 354A (tampering) and immoral body trade Prevention Act. At the same time, both other accused have also been accused of support in murder and immoral acts.
Father’s emotional appeal
Ankita’s father Virendra Singh Bhandari said, “My daughter’s killers were hanged. The government promised that Srikot Nursing College would be named after Ankita, but till date. Taking the name of VIP Ajay Kumar, he alleged that the government is giving him political patronage and is putting a hindrance in a fair investigation and a fair investigation has been obstructed.
This case has not only raised questions on the law and order of Uttarakhand, but has also launched a deep debate about the safety, power protection and transparency of justice process in the whole country. People have the same demand, the culprits should get the death penalty. Now everyone’s eyes are on the court decision coming on Friday.
