Congress leaders detained in Ankita Bhandari case; parents released by police

Police detained multiple Congress party workers and opposition leaders who gathered to support the family of Ankita Bhandari, whose case has drawn significant public attention across India. While the victim's parents were released by authorities, several Congress demonstrators continue to be held in custody as of the latest reports.

Ankita Bhandari's family has been vocal in their demands for justice and a transparent, impartial investigation into their daughter's case. The parents' appearance at protest gatherings highlighted their determination to keep public pressure on authorities to ensure a thorough probe. Opposition figures, including Congress leader Pawan Khera, joined the family in their push for accountability.

The detention of multiple protesters underscores the heightened tensions surrounding the high-profile case. While police chose to release the victim's parents, their decision to retain Congress activists in custody has raised questions about the handling of the demonstration and the broader investigation. The case has become a focal point for opposition parties calling for systemic accountability and fair judicial processes.
