The CBI has taken over investigations of the two cases related to the alleged circulation of a “fake sex CD” allegedly involving a Chhattisgarh minister, agency sources said today.

Chhattisgarh Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Rajesh Munat had lodged complaints against senior journalist Vinod Verma, who was arrested from Ghaziabad in October, and also state Congress chief Bhupesh Baghel for allegedly tarnishing his image through the CD.

The CBI has re-registered the FIRs of the Chhattisgarh Police which were registered against Verma on Munat’s complaint.

The two cases are related to alleged possession and circulation of fake pornographic video and allegations of a ransom demand, CBI sources said.

The journalist had denied the allegations.
