Echoing the anger of thousands, Mahendra Bhatt has termed the CBI investigation into Ankita’s brutal murder as the most fitting decision driven by public fervor. His statement underscores a pivotal moment in a case that has tested the limits of local justice delivery.
The gruesome killing of Ankita in Roorkee ignited a firestorm of public discontent. Families, students, and women’s groups took to the streets, decrying the police’s slow progress and perceived biases. Bhatt, a respected commentator, seized the opportunity to affirm that escalating the probe to the CBI honors these voices.
Detailing the agency’s strengths, Bhatt noted its history of cracking tough cases through advanced surveillance and witness protection protocols. “This isn’t mere formality; it’s justice attuned to the people’s pulse,” he asserted. Early CBI actions, such as seizing digital evidence and reconstructing timelines, signal a renewed push for closure. Bhatt also addressed the emotional toll on the kin, who have endured months of agony, and pressed for total transparency in the process to maintain public confidence.
