BJP national general secretary Dushyant Kumar Gautam has threatened to file a defamation suit against those dragging his name in the Ankita Bhandari murder case.
The controversy stems from a viral video and an alleged audio conversation of a woman named Urmila Sanawar, who claims to be the wife of former MLA Suresh Rathore from Haridwar's Jwalapur.
In the video, Ms. Sanawar alleged that a person named 'Gattu' was involved in the murder of Ankita Bhandari, a receptionist at a resort who was murdered in 2022 by her employer over refusal to render sexual favours.
Mr. Rathore, who has been expelled from the BJP, claimed that he had given ₹50 lakh to Ms. Sanawar because she was "blackmailing" him.
In another video, Ms. Sanawar also revealed the identity of 'Gattu', which has reportedly hurt Dushyant Gautam.
