Assam CM Supports Fresh Probe in Decades-Old Paternity Dispute Involving Ex-Uttarakhand Minister
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has expressed support for Indira Devi, also known as Jenny, who seeks a fresh probe and DNA test in a decades-old sexual assault and paternity dispute involving former Uttarakhand minister Harak Singh Rawat. Jenny alleges Rawat sexually assaulted her in 2002 and fathered her son, claims Rawat denies. The case previously involved a CBI investigation and DNA test that cleared Rawat. Uttarakhand BJP leaders criticize Rawat's political responses, while Sarma backs Jenny's call for justice.
