  "account": "Uttarakhand women and child development minister Rekha Arya filed a complaint alleging that her husband Girdhari Lal Sahu had a plan to murder her, subjected her to caste-based harassment, and forged her signatures without her consent. The police registered an FIR against Sahu on Friday, stating they were investigating the matter. Sahu, on the other hand, accused Arya of habitual corruption and administrative neglect towards his constituency, and denied the allegations against him. Arya accused Sahu of concealing his earlier marriage and being involved in a plot to kill her, as well as using AI-generated phone call recordings as evidence. Meanwhile, Sahu claimed he had been raising corruption concerns in Arya's departments for over a decade and accused her of amassing illegal assets worth ₹210 crore.",
