As anger over the murder of a 19-year-old Uttarakhand woman allegedly by the son of a BJP leader raged on Saturday, locals vandalised the resort owned by the accused and set it on fire.
A part of the resort was earlier demolished on the order of Uttarakhand chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who expressed pain over the death of the woman and announced setting up of an SIT, led by DIG police P Renuka Devi, to conduct a speedy probe into the killing.
Pulkit Arya, son of BJP leader Vinod Arya and prime accused in the murder case, has been arrested along with two resort staff.
On Saturday, the locals, agitated over the murder case, protested against BJP MLA Renu Bisht and vandalised her car. The MLA was escorted away by police.
