Uttarakhand political corruption and fraud investigations
Overview
In October 2026, Uttarakhand Cabinet Minister Rekha Arya filed a police complaint against her husband, Girdhari Lal Sahu, alleging physical assault, harassment, caste-based abuse, and a conspiracy to kill her. The FIR also includes charges of fraud and the use of forged documents. In response, Sahu released a video accusing Arya of accumulating illegal assets worth Rs 210 crore, a claim Arya has refuted by describing her finances as an “open book”. The Uttarakhand Police formed a Special Investigation Team to probe the allegations and conduct forensic examinations on audio recordings related to the case.
Separately, Dehradun police launched an investigation into allegations of property fraud involving Jasveer Kaur Anand, the wife of former minister Harak Singh Rawat. A complainant alleged he was cheated of Rs 43.2 lakh during a 2021 property transaction and was subsequently subjected to physical assault and death threats. Local officials stated that legal action will follow if the allegations are substantiated.
