Shahjahanpur: Two BJP leaders from Uttar Pradesh’s Shajahanpur were now on the radar of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) which is probing sexual assault charges against former Union Minister Chinmayanand.
The two leaders are believed to have been in close contact with Sanjay Singh, one of the three main accused in the extortion case.
According to SIT sources, these leaders learnt of the video recordings through Vikram, another accused in the case.
They reportedly tried to obtain the video recordings from Sanjay and, perhaps, use it to further their political interest. They were even willing to pay money to obtain the videos.
“These leaders were in constant touch with the accused men and we are probing their role in detail. We have summoned them twice already,” said an SIT official.
The two leaders were also present in the same hotel near Balaji temple in Dausa, Rajasthan, on August 30 – where the missing law student was found, a week after she levelled charges against Chinmayanand.
