Delhi Police Friday asked social networking websites to delete intimate photographs of TV anchor Amrita Rai with Congress leader Digvijaya Singh, a day after she filed a complaint saying her email and social accounts were hacked.

Rai had complained that her accounts on Gmail, Facebook and Twitter were hacked, following which the police crime branch registered a case under the IT Act.

"We have forwarded her request to delete her objectionable photographs to social networking websites," a police officer told IANS.

Twitter Wednesday was abuzz with news of the revelation of the affair between 67-year-old Digvijaya Singh, a former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, and Rai, a Rajya Sabha TV anchor.

Both accepted that they were in a relationship and will marry soon. Digvijaya Singh posted two tweets, acknowledging the relationship with Rai.
