NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Ex-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh stands accused of criminal conspiracy over the allocation of a coal block to Hindalco Industries, a source at the Central Bureau of Investigation said on Wednesday.

Singh, who ran the Congress-led government for a decade until last year, has been summoned on April 8 by a special CBI court of inquiry, a second legal source familiar with the matter told Reuters.
