Congress demands resignation of Chouhan over Vyapam scam

 

Earlier, the Congress had demanded a Supreme Court-monitored CBI probe into the deaths of above 40 people in connection with the Vyapam recruitment scam.

"SIT-STF combination has not been able to unearth all layers Vyapam scam, much less investigate the 45 deaths related to it," Congress leader Randeep Surjewala said.

"We feel MP CM is merely using it as a tool to divert attention from fair investigation & quieten the truth," he said.

The dean of a medical college in Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh, linked to the scam, was found dead on Sundaymorning at a hotel in Delhi where he had arrived on Saturday.

He was supposed to travel to Agartala from Delhi as part of an inspection team of Medical Council of India.

In a more shocking news, Dr Arun Sharma was the dean of the college that was linked to the Vyapam recruitment scam.

The dean who was found dead in Delhi on sunday was assisting the Special Task Force that is probing Vyapamscam, by providing documents on fake medical entrance examinees in the state-run medical college that he headed.

Sharma had taken over as dean of the NS Medical College only two months ago.

Several  people who were allegedly involved with the scam have been found dead so far.

On Saturday,  a journalist, who was covering the Vyapam scam of Madhya Pradesh, fell ill and died in a hospital.

Akshay Singh was working with Aaj Tak channel.

Indore Bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court earlier served notices to MPPEB and Medical Council of India (MCI) following a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by parents of some students after reports that more than 300 ineligible candidates managed to get into the merit list.
