Murder Plot & Betrayal: Uttarakhand Minister Rekha Arya Files FIR Against Husband
Uttarakhand Cabinet Minister Rekha Arya alleges murder conspiracy, physical assault, and fraud in a shocking FIR against her husband.
In a shocking turn of events, Uttarakhand Cabinet Minister Rekha Arya has approached the police to lodge a First Information Report (FIR) against her husband, Girdhari Lal Sahu, also known as Pappu Girdhari. The allegations are grave, ranging from a conspiracy to commit murder and physical violence to long-term deception and financial fraud.
The complaint was filed at the Cantt Police Station in Dehradun, where the Minister has sought strict action against Sahu under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.
A Conspiracy to Kill
The catalyst for the legal action was an audio recording that recently came into Rekha Arya's possession. According to the complaint, the recording captures Girdhari Lal Sahu speaking with another woman, during which he is allegedly heard conspiring to kill the Minister. This revelation has left Arya fearing for her safety and the lives of her minor children, stating that her husband could execute a violent act at any moment.
A Marriage Built on Lies
The Minister's complaint reveals a history of deception that dates back to the beginning of their relationship. Rekha Arya alleged that Sahu deceived her at the time of their marriage by claiming he was unmarried. It was only years later that she discovered he had a previous marriage and children from that union.
Despite this discovery, Arya stated that she chose to remain silent for the sake of her own children's future, acting on the advice of her family members.
Abuse and Caste-Based Slurs
The relationship reportedly deteriorated further in recent months. Arya alleged that she discovered her husband was involved in illicit relationships with other women. While Sahu initially admitted to these actions and apologized both verbally and in writing, the Minister claims the behavior continued.
When she confronted him, the situation reportedly turned violent. Arya has accused Sahu of:
- Physically assaulting her.
- Using abusive language and threatening her life.
- Using derogatory caste-based remarks to insult her, often in front of the staff at her official residence.
Forgery and Corporate Fraud
Beyond the personal and physical abuse, the FIR also highlights a serious financial betrayal. Minister Arya alleged that Girdhari Lal Sahu used forged signatures and fake documents to illegally remove her from her position as a director in certain companies.
She explicitly stated in her complaint that she never signed any such documents nor did she ever submit a resignation from those roles.
Legal Charges
The police have registered the case under a wide array of sections, including:
- IPC Sections: 120B (Criminal Conspiracy), 323 (Voluntarily causing hurt), 420 (Cheating), 467, 468, and 471 (Forgery), 495 (Marriage fraud), 498A (Cruelty by husband or relatives), 504 (Intentional insult), and 506 (Criminal intimidation).
- SC/ST Act: Sections 3(1)(d), 3(1)(dh), and 3(2)(va).
