Shahjahanpur (UP): BJP leader Swami Chinmayanand, accused of raping a student, remained under medical observation on Tuesday, a day after he complained of uneasiness. Chinmayanand had complained of uneasiness Monday after the alleged rape victim got her statement recorded before Judicial Magistrate Geetika Singh.
A team of three doctors examined the former Union Minister in his ashram after Chinmayanand complained of weakness. He is also having fluctuating blood sugar level besides an upset stomach, Dr Gaurav Mishra of a private nursing home here told this agency after visiting the 72-year-old leader. Chinmayand, however, has not been shifted to any hospital, he added.
Official sources, meanwhile, said the special investigation team (SIT) continued with its probe in the matter. However, still no FIR has been lodged so far against the BJP leader.
The Supreme Court-appointed SIT had Sunday interrogated three friends of the victim besides some employees of her college. The victim’s friends, who were interrogated, included the one who was with her when she was traced in Rajasthan after having gone missing last month. The SIT had called them to the police lines here and recorded their statements, official sources informed.
The SIT had also interrogated principals of the two colleges, besides their two staffers, where the girl studied.
