After journalist's arrest, FIR against Chhattisgarh Congress chief
According to reports, the FIR has been filed following a complaint by the minister, Rajesh Munat.
Munat has called the CD "fake" and said it can be investigated by any agency.
On Friday, Vinod Verma, an independent journalist and a member of the Editors Guild of India, was arrested by the Chhattisgarh police allegedly after they recovered CDs with "objectionable contents" from his home in Ghaziabad, near Delhi.
The Chhattisgarh government has claimed Verma was working with the opposition Congress to discredit the state's BJP government.
