Garhwal Sabha and Pahadi Mahaa Sabha members stage a protest over Ankita murder case, in Haridwar, Saturday, Sept. 24, 2022. (PTI Photo)A provisional postmortem report of 19-year-old Ankita Bhandari, whose body was recovered from a canal Saturday six days after she allegedly went missing from a resort owned by a former BJP minister’s son in the Laxman Jhula area of Uttarakhand, has confirmed the cause of death was drowning and said there were antemortem injuries (injuries before death) on her body, suggestive of blunt force trauma.
“There are findings of antemortem injuries on the body, suggestive of blunt force trauma. (The) cause of death in this case is asphyxia consequent upon antemortem drowning. Details of the injuries and other findings will be given in the detailed postmortem report,” the provisional report said.
Meanwhile, the family of Ankita, who worked as a receptionist at the resort, refused to cremate the body. The family said they were not satisfied with the provisional report and demanded a case in a fast-track court. However, later in the day, the family agreed to the cremation. The mortal remains of Ankita were cremated at NIT Ghat near Alakhnanda river in Srinagar, Pauri Garhwal, in the presence of police and administration officials.
“Why did the administration demolish the Vanantra Resort? There would be several clues. I also have a demand that the cremation of my daughter will take place only when the final postmortem report is received. I am not satisfied with the postmortem report so far. The culprits should be given punishment under a fast-track court,” said Ankita’s father Virendra Bhandari.
“I want to say that there might be some alteration in the provisional report and it is dissatisfactory. Only when the final report is received, we will cremate my sister,” said Ankita’s brother Ajay Bhandari.
