Chinmayanand case: Missing UP law student found in Rajasthan

Date:

An Uttar Pradesh woman law student who had gone missing earlier last Saturday has been found in Rajasthan.

Confirming that she was located in Rajasthan on Friday, the Uttar Pradesh Police tweeted, “In Shahjahanpur episode the girl has been located by Shahjahanpur police in Rajasthan along with her friend. Necessary legal action is being taken.”4

The woman, a law student, went missing on Saturday after posting a video on Facebook alleging that a “big leader of the Sant Samaj” had “destroyed the lives of many other girls and also has threatened to kill me”. She requested Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to help her.

The woman’s video was widely circulated on social media. Based on her video, her father blamed Chinmayanand, a former union minister who heads the management of the college where the woman studies.

The police filed the family’s case only on Tuesday, three days after she went missing, and charged Chinmayanand with kidnapping and criminal intimidation. The former MP, however, was not questioned. His lawyer asserted that the allegations were false and an attempt to extort the politician.

The UP police chief said: “We did conduct raids in the Chinmayanand ashram. Our teams spoke to several people in his ashram. Our first focus was to recover her safely.”

Yesterday, the Supreme Court decided to take up the case after lawyers raised concerns that it could turn into the another “Unnao case”, where a powerful BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar – expelled only recently from the party – is accused of raping a minor girl from his village in 2017 and conspiring to murder her in a recent car crash.

Chinmayanand has been in Uttarakhand’s Haridwar, refusing to answer questions posed by journalists.
