New Delhi:
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former union minister Chinmayanand, accused of rape by a law student, has been arrested. He has been taken to a hospital by the police for medical tests, five days after the woman detailed what she said was a year of sexual assault and blackmail before a court. The police did not confirm whether Chinmayanand, a former union minister, had been arrested or would be.
Chinmayanand, 73, was hospitalized yesterday after he complained of "uneasiness". The politician, who runs several ashrams and educational institutions, wasn't charged with rape even a month after the woman filed a police complaint.
