Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on September 28 announced a financial assistance of ₹25 lakh to the family of Ankita Bhandari, the receptionist whose killing, allegedly by her employer, sparked public outrage in the State.
He also assured her family that the case would be heard in a fast track court.
“The State Government is with Ankita’s family. We will extend all help to them. The case is being probed by an SIT [Special Investigation Team]. The investigation will be conducted impartially and completed as soon as possible,” the Chief Minister said.
