During the hearing, the girl told the panel that she doesn't want to go back to Uttar Pradesh till she meets her parents here and after the meeting, she will take the decision on her future course of action.


The girl went missing soon after accusing Swami Chinmayanand, director of the college where she studies at, of sexually harassing college students.  


A group of Supreme Court lawyers on Wednesday filed a petition urging Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi to take suo moto cognisance of reports of the girl missing.


Police later filed an FIR against Swami Chinmayanand. 


The girl's family alleged that the BJP leader was responsible for her disappearance.


A video of the missing girl had gone viral on August 24 in which she alleged that a person from 'Sant Samaj' has destroyed the lives of many women and Swami Chinmayanand has done the same to her. She also alleged that the person had also warned her that he would kill her and her parents.


She was recovered from Rajasthan on Friday morning.
