MP STF records Digvijay Singh’s statement on MPPEB scam

The Madhya Pradesh STF on Thursday recorded AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh’s statement in connection with the alleged role of Chief Minister Shivraj Chouhan in MP Professional Examination Board (MPPEB) scam.

STF Assistant Inspector General (AIG) Ashish Khare and DSP D S Baghel went to Singh’s official residence at Shyamala Hills area here and held talks with the Rajya Sabha member for about an hour after which his statement was recorded, a top investigating agency official said. 

The two officers asked the former MP Chief Minister about how he got hold of a copy of an Excel sheet based on which he alleged that Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s name had been deliberately deleted from 48 places for recommending names of candidates to crack the MPPEB tests, he said.
