BHOPAL: Ahead of the assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, a police team from the BJP-ruled Northeast state of Assam questioned Congress candidate Yadvendra Singh.

Singh was questioned by the Assam police team in connection with an alleged fraud case.

A four-member team of Asaam police arrived at the residence of Madhya Pradesh Congress candidate Yadvendra Singh to question him, just five days after the Congress announced him as a candidate from Tikamgarh seat for the assembly elections in the state.

The local police assisted the Assam police team during the questioning following a court order.

โ€œWe were informed about the development through a letter from a court in Assam via mail asking us to cooperate in an ongoing investigation against Yadvendra Singh,โ€ local police informed.

The questioning of the Congress leader was in connection with an alleged fraud case that was registered by the CID in Assam recently.
