The body of a 19-year-old girl who was reported missing a few days ago was also recovered today from the Chilla canal in Rishikesh. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami ordered a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to be formed to probe the case.

The development comes after three people, including Pulkit Arya, were arrested on Friday after they confessed to having pushed Ankita into the canal after an altercation.

On Friday, Uttarakhand authorities also bulldozed portions at the Vanatara Resort owned by Pulkit. CM Dhami said that district magistrates have been ordered to take action against all resorts inside Uttarakhand which have illegal construction.
