Urmila Sanawar Arrested Amid Uttarakhand Murder Probe; Narco Tests Scheduled
Actress Urmila Sanawar was arrested in Haridwar following a complaint by former BJP MLA Suresh Rathore's daughter, alleging extortion, death threats, and defamatory remarks. Sanawar and Rathore have consented to undergo polygraph and narco-analysis tests as part of the investigation into the 2022 murder of a resort receptionist in Uttarakhand. Sanawar has accused BJP-linked figures of involvement in the case, while some leaders have denied allegations and filed defamation suits. The court will decide on the proposed tests on October 26.
