The Bhopal Crime Branch on Monday registered an FIR against Mr. Digvijay Singh, Congress leader, in connection with the alleged fake video posted by him. The recording was about Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, on social media.
FIR was filed on multiple sections of the law after BJP filed a complaint against Digvijay Singh. The edited old video of Shivraj Singh Chouhan with statements on liquor mafia was doing rounds on social media. Digvijay Singh shared the video questioning the statements of the CM which were passed by him in January regarding liquor policy of the then Kamal Nath led government. The post was however later deleted.
The BJP leader filed a complaint against the Congress leader and said that it was a very long video of about 2.19 minutes but it was edited to just reveal the nine-second part and was made viral on Twitter. The former minister Umashankar Gupta’s delegations also submitted a clear memorandum to the Bhopal Police regarding the registration of an FIR against Digvijay Singh.
He also filed a complaint for ‘conspiring to malign CM’s image’. The Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Bhopal also tweeted on this issue that “The whole conspiracy matter has been taken very seriously by us and we are investigating it under the Cyber Act”.
