More trouble brews for former Union Minister Chinmayanand

There is more trouble in store for beleaguered former Union Minister Chinmayanand, who is currently in jail on charges of sexual harassment and blackmail, leveled by a law student. The court will on December 13 hear another sexual harassment case brought against Chinmaynand by his former devotee who was also the principal of his college. The case that dates back to 2012 was registered in Sadar kotwali police. The victim’s lawyer Mukesh Kumar Gupta said that the matter has been pending even though the charge sheet was filed in October 2012. The Yogi Adityanath government, last year, had sought withdrawal of the case against Chinmayanand but the court did not grant permission for the same after the victim filed an objection. The court had also issued a bailable warrant against Chinmayanand who then went to high court and obtained a stay order. The case files were also sent to the high court which has now returned the same to the district court. (IANS)
