Uttarakhand Cabinet Minister Rekha Arya's husband, Girdhari Lal Sahu, was arrested in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, over three weeks after Arya filed a complaint alleging assault, fraud, caste-based abuse, conspiracy to murder, and forgery. Sahu had been absconding and was apprehended by a Special Investigation Team. Arya accused him of concealing a prior marriage and forging documents to remove her from company directorships. Sahu's nephew, Satendra Rathore, was also arrested for aiding his evasion. Sahu denies the allegations, claiming the audio evidence was fabricated using AI.
