Dehradun, Uttarakhand: The investigation into the alleged VIP angle in the Ankita Bhandari murder case has drawn renewed attention after former BJP MLA Suresh Rathore and actress Urmila Sanawar appeared before a CBI court and reportedly expressed their willingness to undergo narco tests.
The development follows questioning by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) as part of its investigation into the case. The narco test issue is expected to come up again during the next hearing scheduled for October 26, according to the information provided.
The case remains sensitive in Uttarakhand, where questions surrounding the alleged VIP connection have continued to attract public attention.
Urmila Sanawar Says She Is Ready for Narco Test
After appearing before the court, actress Urmila Sanawar said she had been asked to reconsider the issue of undergoing a narco test. She stated that she had been called back for a hearing on October 26.
Sanawar maintained that she was seeking justice for Ankita Bhandari and reiterated her willingness to undergo the test. However, she also expressed a lack of confidence in the CBI and demanded that her narco test be conducted in front of the media.
She described this as a major demand and said she would approach the Supreme Court if it was not accepted.
Her demand regarding a media-present narco test is her stated position; whether such a request can be accommodated would depend on the applicable legal process and decisions of the competent authorities.
Urmila Sanawar Seeks Meeting With CM Pushkar Singh Dhami
Sanawar also sought a meeting with Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, claiming that she wanted to share confidential information with him.
She alleged that she had been offered ₹50 crore and an opportunity to leave the country in exchange for lying about a viral audio recording. This allegation has not been independently established in the information available.
Sanawar further claimed that a forensic report concerning the audio recording had confirmed its authenticity. The contents and findings of the report would need to be independently verified before drawing conclusions about the recording.
She also alleged that there was a plan to destabilise the state government and claimed that people associated with the ruling establishment were involved. These remain allegations attributed to Sanawar and should not be treated as established facts without supporting evidence.
Urmila Sanawar Makes Fresh Remarks About Suresh Rathore
Sanawar also criticised former BJP MLA Suresh Rathore, saying that further developments in the dispute were still expected.
Referring to Rathore’s earlier public statements about their relationship, she accused him of changing his position. Her remarks add another dimension to the public dispute surrounding the two individuals.
These personal allegations are separate from any findings that may emerge from the CBI’s investigation into the Ankita Bhandari murder case.
Suresh Rathore Says He Will Cooperate With Investigation
Suresh Rathore, who also appeared before the CBI court, said he would cooperate with the investigation and reportedly agreed to undergo a narco test.
The court proceedings come amid continuing scrutiny of the alleged VIP angle in the Ankita Bhandari case. The next hearing, scheduled for October 26 according to the supplied report, is expected to bring further clarity regarding the narco test issue.
Consent to undergo a test, however, does not establish the truth or falsity of any allegation. Any conclusions about the case must be based on the evidence examined through the appropriate investigative and legal processes.
