The Special Investigation Team on Sunday recorded statements of the family members of a law student, who has accused former Union Minister Swami Chinmayanand of harrassing her. The SIT had called the family members at the district Police Lines in the afternoon for recording of their statement. When contacted, the woman’s father said on phone that investigation is going on.

“Investigation is going on. I could speak to you as I had come outside,” he said. The SIT, probing allegations of harassment levelled by the law student against former Union Minister Swami Chinmayanand, on Saturday visited his residence, ashram and the college run by him where she studied, according to the college principal.

The SIT, headed by Inspector General of Police Naveen Arora, has been set up by the UP Government on the Supreme Court’s order.

While police remain tightlipped on the probe, the principal of Swami Shukdevanand Post Graduate College, where the woman studied, said the SIT which arrived here Thursday night also visited Divya Dham, the residence of Swami Chinmayanand but could not meet him as he was out of town.

The team also visited the Mukukshu Ashram of the BJP leader and toured the five colleges run by the ashram, Principal Avnish Misra had told PTI on Saturday.

The team visited the college hostel where the room of the law student has already been sealed, he said. A woman IPS officer spoke to the teachers and girl students of the college and took inputs from them, Misra said.

“The team later visited Divya Dham of Swami Chinmyanad but could not meet him as he is out of station,” Misra said. The members of the team including IPS officers Bharti Singh, PS Anand and others asked questions about the woman to the students pursuing LLM. They also spoke to her friend who was found with her in Rajasthan, he said.
