Bhopal:
A Naxal outfit has sent a threatening letter to Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and his wife Sadhna, police said on Thursday.
The letter warns the two of dire consequences if the services of contract teachers in the state are not made permanent, they said.
"Though we believe that it is an act of a mischief monger, a case has been registered in Shyamla Hills police station here in this regard," they said.
The letter, written by the unnamed head of 'Naxalwadi Sanghthan', Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh, reached the Chief Minister's residence here about two months back following which it was forwarded to the police headquarters.
The letter also mentions the role played by government employees in ousting the then Chief Minister Digvijay Singh from power after he refused to entertain their demands.
Experts are examining the letter, they said, adding a case has been registered under IPC section 507 (criminal intimidation by an anonymous communication).
