Student gives statement in Chinmayanand case

September 16, 2019 22:43

The student who levelled rape charges against BJP leader Swami Chinmayanand recorded her statement before a magistrate here on Monday.

The special investigation team probing the case took her to the court, where her statement was recorded before Judicial Magistrate Geetika Singh, official sources said.

She remained in the court for around four hours and told PTI that the magistrate recorded her in 10 to 12 pages.

"I have told the magistrate about the rape complaint I gave in New Delhi, my missing spectacles and a chip from the hostel room. I also informed about the bedding and liquor bottles, which were removed from the Chinmayanand's room," she said.

Meanwhile, a lesser known organisation, Chhatra Shakti Sangathan, has announced a Rs 50-lakh award to anyone who chops off the tongue of Swami Omji, who on Sunday had equated the woman with a "vish kanya".

Self-styled godman Omji was a contestant in the reality TV Show, Bigg Boss.

Office-bearers of the organisation also burnt an effigy of Omji and made the announcement before the media.

Another organisation, Bhartiya Yuva Parishad, burnt an effigy of Swami Chinmayanand and demanded his arrest.

Swami Chinmayanand'a lawyer Om Singh said a team had been formed for keeping an eye on social media.

He said a complaint would be lodged against those making indecent comments against the BJP leader.
