Uttarakhand: Merely four days after the local body elections, the police arrested Congress mayor candidate from Kashipur, Mukta Singh and her husband on Thursday afternoon in a dowry harassment case.

Meanwhile, near the ARTO office, Singh was travelling towards Kundeshwari. The police stopped her car and detained her. The police then brought both of them to Kotwali.
