'Chinmayanand evading interrogation on health grounds'

Lucknow: Former Union Minister Chinmayanand, accused of sexual misconduct by a law student, has already been summoned for interrogation but has evaded questioning on health grounds so far.

A Special Investigation Team official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that the BJP leader was sent summons three days ago.

"Chinmayanand has communicated to us that he is unwell but we will interrogate him soon. There is no question of not interrogating him," the official said.
