Former Union Minister and senior BJP leader Swami Chinmayanand on Wednesday said that he was being framed in a case of abduction and sexual harassment as part of a conspiracy. Referring to the FIR lodged against him for the alleged abduction of a law student in SS College in Shahjahanpur, the BJP leader told a news channel: "This is a conspiracy against me and the girl in question is a part of it. There are four other boys who had earlier tried to blackmail me and extort money."
