Dehradun:
Uttarakhand police on Thursday filed a case against Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Vipin Karnwal, who allegedly made reprehensible comments about 19-year-old Ankita Bhandari by labeling her as “hungry male cats” as “raw milk” and blaming her father for her death.
Raiwala Police Station in Dehradun in Uttarakhand registered the case against Mr Karnwal for spreading animosity and tension in the society and insulting the woman.
Mr Karnwal, who blamed Ankita’s father for her murder, said in his Facebook post (which has now been deleted) that the “greatest culprit is her father who put raw milk in front of the hungry male cats”.
“I didn’t go for a candlelight march or market closing. The father and brother who eat the earnings of a 19-year-old girl, whose daughter and sister work at a resort where there is overt debauchery and the girl whose Jammu-based boyfriend comes to help the family. informing about the scandal is the biggest culprit leaving raw milk for the hungry cats,” Mr Karnwal said in Hindi.
On the complaint of a social worker Vijaypal Rawat, the police registered the case against the RSS leader under Section 153A (Promoting enmity between different groups based on religion, race, place of birth, place of residence, language, etc., and the doing of acts harmful to the maintenance of harmony), 505 (Statements leading to public mischief), 509 (Word, gesture or act intended to offend a woman’s modesty), and 66 (Description of imprisonment for failure to pay fine ) of the Indian Code.
Circle Officer, Rishikesh, and Deputy Commissioner Dondhiyal said they were looking for Mr Karnwal.
More details on the case are awaited.
Ankita, 19, was missing for at least six days before the Uttarakhand government recovered her body from Chilla Canal in Rishikesh on September 24.
Pulkit Arya, son of ousted BJP leader Vinod Arya, was arrested in the case for allegedly pushing her into the canal after an altercation. In addition to Pulkit Arya, two more people were arrested in the case.
