Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh presented himself today before the police here and dared them to arrest him, a week after Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan termed his actions as "anti-national".

The police, however, told the former chief minister that he could not be arrested as there was no case registered against him.

Singh, accompanied by hundreds of party workers holding banners and placards against Chouhan, marched for around one km from the party's state office to T T Nagar police station.

Talking to PTI later, the Congress leader's son Jaivardhan, who also accompanied him, said: "Police handed over a letter to my father that read- 'No criminal case or complaint of sedition against Digvijay Singh has been lodged in T T Nagar police station as per the records'."
Talking to reporters outside the police station, Digvijay Singh said, "I have a letter from the police... Chouhan, who is holding a constitutional post, is telling 'lies'. I am going to drag him to court for calling me a traitor."
