Former union minister Swami Chinmayanand was accused of rape by a 23 year old girl who was studying at a college that was under the management of Chinmayanand. The 73 year old former BJP leader was arrested but taken to a hospital after he complained of health issues. On Monday, he was denied bail by a court after which he was taken to Shahjahanpur jail.
