Due to the accused’s connections to the ruling party, the opposition has accused police of conducting their investigation slowly and questioned why the FIR was not registered sooner. The resort’s location is outside of the purview of ordinary police, according to state police chief Ashok Kumar.
He attributed the delay to a procedure in which land revenue employees register FIRs.
Pushkar Singh Dhami, the chief minister, has promised to take “harshest measures.” “This is an abominable crime. Whoever the offender is will not escape punishment, “He stated.
Both the accused’s brother Ankit Arya and his father Vinod Arya, a former ministerial-level state board chairman, have been expelled from the BJP. However, Mr. Arya said that they had left the party. Pulkit did not stay with them, he added. Along with Pulkit Arya, other people detained include resort manager Saurabh Bhaskar and deputy manager Ankit Gupta. In a CCTV camera’s footage, the girl was last seen with the three guys, according to the authorities.
After the horrific crime, rage poured onto the streets of the hill town. Yesterday, locals surrounded a police car carrying the suspects, broke their windows, and beat them. Police were able to save them in some way.
