- Ankita Murder Case: Actress Urmila Sanawar appears in CBI court; to undergo narco-analysis test
- Ankita Murder Case: Urmila Sanawar records statement; testing to take place in Gandhinagar
Television actress Urmila Sanawar appeared before a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court on Friday in connection with the investigation into the alleged role of a ‘VIP’ in the high-profile Ankita Bhandari murder case of Uttarakhand.
The court ordered that Urmila undergo a narco-analysis test and a polygraph test in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. However, her lawyer, Shivani Tomar, stated that the court has not yet set a date for these tests.
Shivani said, “Consent was granted by the court for the narco-analysis and polygraph tests, and Urmila Sanawar’s statement was also recorded. It has been decided that both tests will be conducted in Gandhinagar, though a date has not yet been fixed.”
She added that Urmila is likely to undergo a medical examination by the third week of November, following which a date for the narco-analysis test may be finalized.
Previously, Urmila Sanawar was scheduled to appear in court on October 26, but she was arrested by the police a day earlier from her residence in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
A separate case of extortion is registered against Urmila in Haridwar. A court in Haridwar granted her bail last week.
Ankita, a 19-year-old who worked as a receptionist at the Vanantara Resort near Rishikesh, was murdered on September 18, 2022.
The resort owner, Pulkit Arya, along with two of his employees—Saurabh Bhaskar and Ankit Gupta—carried out the crime. All three have since been sentenced to life imprisonment in the case. However, the matter returned to the spotlight last December after audio recordings of an alleged conversation between Suresh Rathore—a former MLA from Jwalapur, Haridwar—and a woman named Urmila Sanawar, who claimed to be his wife, went viral on social media.
These audio clips reportedly mentioned the involvement of a ‘VIP’ in the murder case. Following pressure from various political and social organizations—including the Congress—as well as demands from Ankita’s parents, the Chief Minister recommended a CBI investigation into the case this January.
Suresh Rathore, the former MLA who has since been expelled from the BJP, is also set to undergo narco-analysis and polygraph tests in connection with this case. He has already provided his consent to the court for these tests.
