Chinmayanand case: Student submits videos to probe team

Shahjahanpur (UP), Sept 14

The postgraduate student who has accused BJP leader Chinmayanand of rape gave a pen drive containing 43 videos to the SIT to support her allegations today.

The woman was asked by the SIT to submit whatever evidence she had against the former Union minister. The special investigation team (SIT) questioned the student yesterday and collected evidence from Chinmayanand’s bedroom here, sources said today.

The SIT, formed on the orders of the Supreme Court, had brought the woman to Chinmayanand’s house on Friday morning where they continued the probe for around five hours, sources said.

The special team has called the student’s mother for questioning on Saturday, they said.

Chinmayanand, whose organisation runs several colleges, was questioned for about seven hours at the police lines here on Thursday night and his bedroom at Divya Dham residence was sealed, they said.

A team of forensic experts was also present at the residence. The woman alleged that important evidence has been removed from Chinmayanand’s bedroom and it now wears a new look. — PTI
