BJP leader Chinmayanand was questioned by the police last night, nearly a fortnight after a young woman and her family went public with allegations that he had blackmailed her and raped her for over a year. The former union minister was questioned for seven hours by a Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Uttar Pradesh police, which has fielded questions about its apparent reluctance to file a case against the powerful politician or even question him.
