Bhopal, Mar 1 (IBNS): An FIR has been filed against Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh and former Madhya Pradesh Assembly Speaker Sriniwas Tiwari in connection with a decade old case regarding irregularities in appointment between 1993 and 2003, reports said.
Assembly deputy secretary Shyamlal Maithil filed the FIR at the Jehangirabad police station under Sections 420 (cheating), 468 (forgery for cheating) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code.
A committee to probe the case was set up in 2004 and gave its report in 2006.
It found that several appointments to the Assembly Secretariat between 1993 and 2003 were illegal.
Singh was the Chief Minister and Tiwari was Speaker during that period.
