Hence, there is no need to detain her further, the court added.<\/p>\n<p>During the bail hearing, the woman&#8217;s counsel argued that she is a victim of sexual harassment and claimed that all allegations against her are fabricated.<\/p>\n<p>The counsel alleged that the student was raped by Chinmayanand over a long period of time.<\/p>\n<p>Chinmayanand&#8217;s lawyer opposed the bail application and said the student had used a spy camera for recording the video clips.<\/p>\n<p>The BJP leader was arrested on September 20 by a special investigation team (SIT), formed by Uttar Pradesh Police following directions from the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>He was booked under section 376-C, a charge short of rape.

She and her friends had asked him to shell out Rs 5 crore, he alleged.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, the woman was taken from the jail in Shahjahanpur to Bareilly so that she could take an exam at a college there.<\/p>\n<p>She was given admission at the Bareilly college on the Supreme Court&#8217;s directions so that she could continue her education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday granted bail to the law student charged with trying to extort money from Swami Chinmayanand, the BJP leader whom she has accused of rape.
