DEHRADUN: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami recommended a CBI inquiry on Friday into the mysterious “VIP” linked with the 2022 murder of a 19-year-old receptionist at a Rishikesh resort owned by a BJP functionary’s son, according to reports from Kautilya Singh.
Background of the Case
This decision follows several days of protests organized by various civic groups and the opposition Congress. It also comes just two days after the Chief Minister met with the victim’s parents, who presented him with a letter requesting a CBI probe supervised by a Supreme Court judge. In the letter, the father expressed concerns about his daughter’s murder, indicating it was associated with a “VIP” whose identity remains unknown.
Commitment to Justice
After the meeting, the victim’s parents reiterated their demand, asserting they would not rest until the identity of the “VIP” is revealed. CM Dhami stated, “From the very beginning, our aim has been to ensure justice in a fair, transparent, and sensitive manner, and that commitment will continue. We assured the victim’s parents that we would follow the suggested line of inquiry.”
Controversial Allegations
Recent audio and video clips allegedly released by Haridwar-based actor Urmila Sanawar capture former BJP MLA Suresh Rathore apparently discussing a “VIP,” whom he implicated as BJP national general secretary Dushyant Gautam.
Reactions from Political Leaders
State Congress chief Ganesh Godiyal remarked that by endorsing a CBI probe, the government acknowledged faults in the initial investigation. He termed it a victory for the people and Congress, demanding that the investigation be conducted under the supervision of a Supreme Court or high court judge.
Meanwhile, State BJP chief Mahendra Bhatt welcomed the decision, aligning it with public sentiment and asserting it would “expose the opposition’s lies.”
