The Allahabad HC granted bail to former Union minister Swami Chinmayanand, accused of sexually abusing a law student. Chinmayanand, whose trust runs the Shahjahanpur law college where the woman studied, was arrested on September-20 under section 376-C of the IPC, a charge short of rape. It is applied when someone in authority takes advantage of his official position and "induces or seduces" a woman.
