The Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating Cabinet minister Rekha Arya’s complaint is examining company records seized during visits to Haldwani and Bareilly. The documents may help investigators establish how Arya was removed from the directorship of 4 companies and whether the signatures and paperwork used in that process are genuine.
According to information gathered during the inquiry, Girdhari Lal Sahu removed Arya from the 4 companies. Arya has alleged in her complaint that her husband used forged signatures and documents to remove her from the director positions. The allegation remains under investigation, and the SIT is collecting evidence before deciding on further action.
Companies and property linked to the inquiry
one company connected with land for a farmhouse under construction in Lalpul village along the Bareilly-Sitapur highway reportedly listed Arya and Satendra Rathore as directors. Bareilly Development Authority officials said the land was registered in the name of M/s Krishna-Vaishnavi Enterprises.
The inquiry also covers reported interests involving Bankhandi Rudrakshdham Infradeveloper Private Limited and Shri Ambe Auto Dealer Private Limited. The available information links Arya and Girdhari Lal to these companies. The investigation material does not identify the fourth company by name.
The SIT was formed to investigate the first information report registered at Cantt police station on the basis of Arya’s complaint. As part of its evidence-gathering, the team travelled to Haldwani and Bareilly and took possession of several company-related documents.
Investigators are now comparing those records to determine the process used to change the directorships. The team will also take necessary steps to verify the signatures mentioned in the complaint and establish whether the documents reflect valid corporate changes.
Police seek contact with accused
Reaching the accused remains a challenge for the investigation. Senior Superintendent of Police Pramendra Singh Dobhal said efforts were being made to contact them, but police had not yet reached anyone.
Police have sent notices asking the accused to record their statements and cooperate with the investigation. Since the accused were not found at the relevant locations, notices were served on their family members, according to the investigation details.
The police have not announced a finding on the allegations. The SIT says it is continuing to collect evidence and verify the facts before taking the next step.
Viral audio also under review
The team is separately examining the role of Kalpana Mishra in connection with a viral audio linked to the case. Her name reportedly surfaced in the recording, placing her role within the scope of the inquiry.
The SIT is reviewing the available evidence connected with the audio along with the company documents and alleged signatures. Any further action will depend on the findings and the confirmation of facts during the investigation.
Conclusion
The Rekha Arya case remains at the evidence-gathering stage. The SIT is checking company records, alleged signatures and a viral audio, while police continue efforts to contact the accused and verify the complaint’s claims.
