  • Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former Union Minister, Chinmayanand, who was arrested on Friday, upon allegations of sexual harassment, is set to lose his sainthood.

    The Akhil Bhartiya Akhara Parishad (ABAP), the highest decision-making body of saints, is determined to expel the disgraced leader from the community.

    The 72-year-old politician has been accused of rape by a law student of his own institution.

    Later, she appeared before the media and alleged that Chinmayanand raped her for a year.

    Meanwhile, Supreme Court ordered formation of SIT in the matter.
