Workers from the Congress, Uttarakhand Kranti Dal (UKD), Mahila Manch, Left parties, and social organisations gathered at Parade Ground in Dehradun and marched towards the Chief Minister's residence, repeating their demand that the case be handed over to the CBI to reveal the name of the "VIP" involved in the murder case.
During the protest, opposition party workers held placards with slogans like "Give justice to Ankita", "No more delays, surround the Chief Minister," and "Who is the real culprit, who is silent in Delhi," and raised anti-government slogans.
