Uttarakhand Minister Accuses Husband of Conspiring to Murder Her, Bigamy

Police registered a case after Arya alleged assault, forgery and threats, including an audio recording that she said captured a plot to kill her.

  • On Thursday, Uttarakhand Women Empowerment and Child Development Minister Rekha Arya lodged a First Information Report against her husband, Girdhari Lal Sahu, at Cantt Police Station in Dehradun, accusing him of assault, forgery, and criminal threats.
