Two BJP leaders from Uttar Pradesh's Shajahanpur were now on the radar of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) which is probing sexual assault charges against former Union Minister Chinmayanand.
Chinmayanand used to tear the clothes of the law student whenever she resisted his sexual advances. The district government counsel Anuj Singh has said that according to the law student's statement, the former minister used to tear her clothes whenever she refused to remove them on her own, which is why they slapped IPC Section 354D on Chinmayanand.
Former Union Minister Chinmayanand, who has been accused of sexual harassment by a law student, was discharged from the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI) here late on Monday and shifted to the district jail in Shahjahanpur, police sources said.
An FIR was registered on Wednesday against the 58-year-old professor under Sections 376 (rape) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code on the complaint filed by the wife.
The matter of the law student's anticipatory bail hearing being heard by the Allahabad High Court, was to come up for hearing on Thursday, but the SIT did not wait for the court's ruling, as certain phone calls traced revealed that the victim was planning to escape.
The 23-year-old woman was taken into custody on charges of extortion and blackmail.
With the 12 arrests made on Sunday, the total number of people in custody has now reached 20 and all the suspects belong to the town's Chunian tehsil, where the remains of the three victims were found on September 17.
According to doctors treating him, Chinmayanand has a blockage in heart and is a patient of diabetes and hyper tension.
onfirming it, Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad (ABAP) president Narendra Giri told PTI," In most of the cases like this (referring to case of Swami Chinmayanand), the seer is expelled from the Akhara Parishad until he is proven innocent."
The boy allegedly coaxed the-14-year-old girl and made physical relations with her, Kullu's Superintendent of Police Gaurav Singh said.
The 16-year-old was allegedly gangraped on Saturday at a village under Sarai Akil police station limits and the accused also recorded a video of the act, Superintendent of Police (SP) Pradeep Gupta said.
Former Union Minister Chinmayanand, who was arrested today for raping a law student, has admitted to almost all the allegations levelled against him. "I am ashamed," Chinmayanand told the Special Investigation Team that made explosive revelations in the case.
Police said they have recorded statement of the woman after information was received on the matter around 12pm.
The 73-year-old politician was being treated by a team of doctors in his Mumukshu ashram where he has been held under house arrest since September 13.
"After his condition became bad, he was shifted to the medical college hospital and admitted in ward number 8," Chief Medical Superintendent Dr M P Gangwar said.

A team of doctors was called in at his Mumukshu Ashram late on Monday to treat the 72-year-old politician.
The student who levelled rape charges against BJP leader Swami Chinmayanand recorded her statement before a magistrate here on Monday. The special investigation team (SIT) probing the case took her to the court, where her statement was recorded before Judicial Magistrate Geetika Singh, official sources said here.
The father of a law student, who accused Chinmayanand of raping her, has alleged that the SIT has leaked footage from the video recording that his daughter gave them.
Spelling fresh trouble for former Union Minister and BJP leader Chinmayanand, a girl victim has handed over 43 video clips to the SIT and said he (the accused) is a 'blackmailer'.
