New Delhi: The law student from Shahjahanpur, who accused BJP leader Chinmayanand of rape, was arrested by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Wednesday morning, a day after she was detained for questioning in an extortion case. She is likely to be produced before a court after a medical examination.

The law student’s brother and father were present when she was taken by the police on Tuesday.Her arrest comes two days after she was denied anticipatory bail by a Division Bench of the Allahabad High Court. The court had asked her to approach an appropriate court after which the student’s lawyer approached the extra district and sessions court which accepted the plea and directed that all records related to the case be summoned before it on September 26.

The SIT had on Tuesday also taken two other accused — Sachin and Vikram — on remand for further investigation in the case.

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) had earlier booked three of her friends after questioning them in connection to a video clip in which they were purportedly discussing extortion. According to SIT chief Naveen Arora, the three had accepted their involvement in the extortion case filed against them, although the law student had denied the charges.

“I do not know if the people who helped me escape from Chinmayanand were using me. I have nothing to do with the extortion case. I think all this drama is being done to dilute my charges of rape,” the law student had said.

Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh court had on Tuesday rejected the bail application of BJP leader Swami Chinmayanand, who was arrested in a sexual-assault case. He had during the interrogation on Friday confessed to having called the law student for “massages” while saying that he was ashamed of his act.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been making all efforts to establish communication with Vikram Lander, days after Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter located it on the Moon’s surface.

Taking to micro-blogging platform Twitter on Tuesday morning, ISRO updated that though the lander was located but no communication with it has been made yet. “Vikram Lander has been located by the orbiter of #Chandrayaan2, but no communication with it yet. All possible efforts are being made to establish communication with lander,” tweeted ISRO.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been making all efforts to establish communication with Vikram Lander, days after Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter located it on the Moon’s surface.

ISRO chief K Sivan had on Sunday announced that the Orbiter had taken a thermal image of Vikram. The battery of Vikram Lander, which is carrying the Pragyan Rover, has an expected life of 14 days, so ISRO has another 12 days to establish communication with the craft. “We have found the location of Vikram Lander on lunar surface and orbiter has clicked a thermal image of Lander. But there is no communication yet. We are trying to have contact. It will be communicated soon,” Sivan had said on Sunday.

Vikram Lander was just 2.1 kilometres above the lunar surface when it lost contact with ISRO, throwing a pall of gloom over the Indian space agency, but Sunday’s development has rekindled hopes.

ISRO had released a statement on Saturday, a few hours after Vikram lander lost contact, stating that the Orbiter would continue with its mission. The perfect launch of Chandrayaan-2 and the technological capabilities developed by ISRO also ensured that the Orbiter’s life was now seven years and not just one year.
