Meanwhile, Anup Trivedi, victim's advocate in Shahjahanpur law student case told media, “We had filed an anticipatory bail application in the Court. After elaborate discussion Court allowed my application. Court has fixed September 26 as next date for a hearing.”


According to a report in Indian Express, the reports stated, “After the 23-year-old, who studied in a law college in Shahjahanpur, run by a trust of Chinmayanand, accused the BJP leader of sexual harassment in a video clip, his lawyers filed a case of an extortion threat against unidentified persons. Chinmayanand’s lawyers had alleged that a WhatsApp message demanding Rs 5 crore was received on the mobile phone of the BJP leader. The message, they alleged, threatened to make some video clips viral if the amount was not paid. Police have arrested three youths in this connection.”

Chinamayanand, who has been booked under IPC sections 354 D (stalking), 342 (wrongful confinement) and 506 (criminal intimidation), was arrested last week. He has been in hospital since Sunday after two days in prison. Commenting on the arrest, SIT chief Naveen Arora told PTI, “Student was arrested after enough evidence. Extortion money of Rs 5 crore was demanded from Chinmayanand on the direction of the student.”
