A defamation case has been filed by Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan against Congress leader K.K Mishra over allegations made by the latter over Chouhan's wife Sadhna Singh's role in the Vyapam scam.
Mishra had levelled allegations against Chouhan's wife Sadhna Singh's role in the Vyapam scam, and had also alleged the involvement of a powerful person in this case.
Chouhan had later said that he was preparing to file defamation suit over allegations leveled by the opposition against his wife, and his government pertaining to the Vyapam Scam.
The recruitment scam had reportedly involved manipulation in the selection process for government jobs conducted by the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board (MPPEB).
A Special Task Force has been constituted for an investigation into the Vyapam scam which had detained Laxmikant Sharma, a former state technical education minister, for interrogation.
Even as the high profile teacher's recruitment scam in Madhya Pradesh is being linked to Chief Minister Chouhan's wife, Sadhna Singh, the Congress has dragged Union Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti's name into it as well.
