Shahjahanpur: The law postgraduate student, who had levelled charges of sexual harassment against former Union Minister Swami Chinmayanand, on Monday alleged that she was raped and exploited for over a year by the BJP leader. Addressing the press here, the woman, who was studying at a law college where Chinmayanand was the director, claimed that he exploited many more girls like her, but only she had courage to come ahead and file a complaint.

"Swami Chinmayanand raped me and even exploited me physically for one year," she alleged before the media, her face covered with a black scarf. "I have every evidence of the crime... go and open my hostel room," she added.
