Uttarakhand Police Constable Notification 2024: The Uttarakhand Subordinate Selection Commission (UKSSSC) has published an official notification for the selection of Constables in the Uttarakhand Police Department on a direct recruitment basis.
Controversies Uttarakhand Police faced significant criticism in the investigation of the Ankita Bhandari murder case due to initial delays in filing the missing person's report, and action was only taken after pressure from the media and the public in September 2022. The controversy intensified when structures at the resort, including the crime scene, were demolished on the orders of local authorities before a thorough forensic examination could be conducted, leading to allegations of tampering with evidence. Further allegations of protecting "VIP" individuals connected to BJP leaders fueled protests and demands for a CBI investigation, although the courts upheld the Special Investigation Team's (SIT) chargesheet.
