Uttarakhand Minister Rekha Arya's Husband Arrested in Assault and Forgery Case
Uttarakhand Cabinet Minister Rekha Arya filed a complaint against her husband, Girdhari Lal Sahu, accusing him of assault, forgery, caste-based slurs, and conspiracy to murder. After being on the run since October 15, Sahu was arrested in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, along with his associate Satendra Rathore. Arya alleges Sahu concealed a prior marriage and forged documents to remove her from company directorships. Sahu denies the charges, claiming the audio evidence was fabricated and accusing Arya of possessing illegal assets. Investigations continue with both in judicial custody.
