Bhopal, Feb 3 (IANS) Congress legislator Kalpana Parulekar was Friday arrested by officials of CID in Ujjain district for using morphed pictures to show Madhya Pradesh Lokayukta P.P. Naolekar as participating in RSS’s function as cadre, police said Friday.
Parulekar had shown the picture during the last assembly session to which Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders had taken objection. State Parliamentary Affairs Minister Narottam Mishra had lodged a complaint against her.
The case was later transferred to CID, Madhya Pradesh.
The Ujjain superintendent of police Rakesh Gupta confirmed the arrest of the Congress MLA.
Leader of opposition Ajay Singh said Parulekar was highlighting the corruption issue. Singh said the Lokayukta was not conducting raids on corrupt ministers, and the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government arrested Parulekar to please Naolekar.
