Digital Desk: An official said on Saturday that the Special
Investigation Team, which is looking into the murder of Ankita Bhandari, has
taken the three main suspects into custody.
Accused Pulkit Arya, the owner of the resort where Bhandari
worked as a receptionist, and two accomplices — resort manager Saurabh Bhaskar
and assistant manager Ankit Gupta — were arrested on September 23 for allegedly
killing her after she refused to provide 'extra service' to an unidentified VIP
customer.
According to the official, who spoke on the condition of
anonymity, the three accused may be taken to the crime scene to establish the
sequence of events.
Sub-inspector Vaibhav Pratap Singh of the Revenue Police
Department, who is on suspension for dereliction of duty for allegedly failing
to file an FIR in the case despite being approached, is also being questioned.
The investigation team has also recorded the statement of
Ankita's friend, with whom she spoke on the day of her murder.
The SIT has formed five teams to expedite the investigation
into the case, which has sparked widespread public outrage in the state.
It also recovered a cellphone from the Chilla canal, where
Ankita was allegedly thrown. The phone has been turned over to the forensic
team, according to the official.
