The LLM student of SS Law college has been reported missing after a video of her allegations went viral on social media on saturday. Before she went missing, her video had surfaced on social media. She sought intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in the matter.

 

According to media reports, she accused Chinmayanand, director of her college, of threatening to kill her and her family as she had evidence against him. 

On a Facebook live video, she said, “I’m (name not revealed) from Shahjahanpur and am pursuing LLM from SS College. A big leader of the saint society, who has destroyed the lives of several girls, has been threatening me with life. I have all the evidences against him. I request Modi ji and Yogi ji to please help me. He has even threatened to kill my family. Only I know what I have been going through. Modi ji please help me, he is a sanyasi and is threatening that the police, DM and everyone else is on his side and no one can harm him. I request you all for justice.”

“When any girl tries to take an action against him, he blatantly threatens them with murder, claiming he has links with all forces of law,” she added.

Chinmayanand was a Union minister in the third Atal Bihari Vajpayee government (1999-2004). He was a member of the Lok Sabha from Jaunpur constituency in Uttar Pradesh during the period.
