BJP MLA tells Ankita Bhandari's family to reject govt aid if they only want justice, sparks row

BJP MLA Dilip Rawat said Ankita Bhandari's family should reject Uttarakhand government's aid if they are "unhappy with government's actions" and only want justice for their daughter. Congress criticised Rawat, questioning if compensation given was under pretext to protect the alleged "VIP" involved in the 2022 murder case. Ankita's family alleged an unidentified VIP's involvement in the murder.
