The Sikkim unit of the BJP has called for a neutral investigation into the Ankita Bhandari case, urging authorities to examine any possible VIP connections.
The Sikkim branch of the Bharatiya Janata Party issued a public statement demanding a fair and unbiased inquiry into the ongoing Ankita Bhandari case. The party said the investigation must be free from any external influence and should adhere strictly to legal procedures.
Party officials highlighted that the case has attracted considerable public attention, and there are concerns that individuals with political or administrative clout could be implicated. They urged the state police and investigative agencies to look beyond surface evidence and explore any possible VIP links.
BJP leaders also called on senior officials to ensure that the probe remains transparent, with regular updates provided to the media and the public. They warned that any perception of a cover‑up could erode confidence in the law‑enforcement system.
The statement concluded by urging the government to cooperate fully with the investigative team and to take corrective action if any undue influence is uncovered.
