Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has publicly slammed the BJP over its handling of the murder case involving Ankita Bhandari, demanding swift action and accountability.
Opposition chief Rahul Gandhi took to the podium today to denounce the Bharatiya Janata Party for its perceived inaction in the murder case of Ankita Bhandari. He accused the ruling party of neglecting the investigation and of failing to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The case, which has drawn widespread media attention, involves the death of Ankita Bhandari, a young woman whose murder has sparked protests and demands for a thorough inquiry. Despite several months of investigations, no conclusive findings have been released.
Gandhi called on the central government to expedite the probe, urging the police and judiciary to act without political interference. He also demanded that the BJP take responsibility for what he described as a “systemic failure” in handling the case.
The BJP has yet to issue a formal response, but the party’s spokesperson said that the investigation is proceeding “as per the law.” The incident has intensified calls for judicial reforms and greater transparency in high‑profile criminal cases.
