Chandigarh, October 4
Reports are rife in Uttarakhand about the identity of the “VIP” whom Ankita Bhandari was under pressure to offer “special services”.
Vanantara resort where Ankita Bhandari worked as a receptionist – owned by Pulkit Arya, son of local BJP leader Vinod Arya, in Pauri district’s Yamkeshwar block had a ‘presidential suite’ meant for VIP guests, said DIG P Renuka Devi, who is heading the SIT to look into the murder case.
After interrogating the staff working at the resort, it was found that there is a different category of rooms in the resort, referred to as top-class rooms and those who stay in those rooms are generally called ‘VIPs’. Ankita Bhandari’s friends have also been questioned and their statements recorded.
In a video tweeted by NBT Uttar Pradesh, an eyewitness in the Ankita Bhandari murder case has come to the fore.
