The girl had turned down Arya’s approaches. Additionally, it is said that the Pulkit was pressuring her into prostitution.
Ankita was a native of the Uttarakhand village of Srikot in the Garhwal region. She only just began working at the hotel.
When Bhandari went missing on September 19, Arya and his two accomplices made up a ruse to claim that they were unaware of her disappearance.
A search was however started by the victim’s family and friends when CCTV footage revealed that Bhandari had called her family the night before she disappeared and that there was no reason for her to head out alone.
According to sources, Arya has admitted to the crime.
