  "summary": "Delhi Police have released the parents of Ankita Bhandari, who were briefly detained during a protest near India Gate. Ankita, a 19-year-old receptionist at the Vanantra Resort in Rishikesh, was murdered in Uttarakhand in 2022, with her body recovered from the Chilla canal four days after her death. The parents are demanding that Dushyant Kumar Gautam's appointment as Sikkim governor be put on hold until the ongoing CBI investigation into the case is concluded. Notable figures, including Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Pawan Khera, Supritya Shrinate, and Uday Bhanu Chib, were part of the sit-in protest at India Gate.",
