In a strong endorsement of the ongoing investigation, prominent figure Mahendra Bhatt has praised the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) probe into the Ankita murder case as a decision perfectly aligned with public emotions. Speaking to reporters, Bhatt emphasized that the transfer of the case to the CBI marks a crucial step toward delivering justice that resonates with the outrage felt by the masses.
The Ankita murder case has gripped Uttarakhand, particularly the region around Roorkee, since the tragic incident unfolded. Ankita, a young woman whose life was brutally cut short, became a symbol of vulnerability and the urgent need for accountability in high-profile crimes. Initial investigations by local police drew widespread criticism for alleged lapses and delays, fueling public protests and demands for a more impartial inquiry.
Bhatt, known for his vocal stance on social issues, highlighted how the CBI’s involvement brings specialized expertise and neutrality to the table. “This is not just a procedural shift; it’s a response to the collective voice of the people who refuse to let such atrocities go unpunished,” he stated. He pointed to the agency’s track record in unraveling complex cases, instilling hope among Ankita’s family and supporters.
