Following the rejection of the bail pleas of the three convicts in the Ankita Bhandari murder case, BJP state spokesperson Honey Pathak attributed the outcome to the Dhami government’s strong and effective legal representation. He stated that this matter is not about politics, but about securing justice for a daughter of the state.
