Rahul Gandhi Meets Ankita Bhandari's Parents At India Gate, BJP Calls It 'Cheap Politics'

Rahul Gandhi has met the parents of Ankita Bhandari at India Gate, as their protest intensifies following the appointment of Dushyant Gautam as Sikkim Governor. Ankita, a young woman who worked at a Uttarakhand resort, was murdered in 2022. Her family is demanding answers over allegations surrounding the case and the identity of a purported VIP mentioned in a controversial audio clip. Gautam has secured court protection against defamatory allegations linking him to the murder. The visit has triggered a political face-off, with the BJP questioning Rahul Gandhi's motives and the opposition demanding accountability. On NDTV, a heated debate breaks out over the case, women's safety and whether the Congress leader's intervention is solidarity or political strategy.
