Bhopal, May 9 (IBNS) Yet another accused in the Vyapam scam of Madhya Pradesh- an admission and recruitment scam involving politicians, officials and businessmen- has been found dead under mysterious circumstances taking the toll to eight and making the case further complicated.
Reports said pharmacist  Vijay Singh, a key  accused in the Vyapam scam concerning the unauthorised disposal of application forms for exams has been found dead in a lodge in Kanker district of Chhattisgarh.

 He is the eighth accused to have died in the scam.

Police are waiting for the post mortem report, but preliminary investigation suggests that he may have been killed. 

There were injury marks on his wrist and neck.

Recently, Madhya Pradesh Governor Ram Naresh Yadav's son, Shailesh, was also found dead under mysterious circumstances. 

Alleged financial and administrative irregularities, including unauthorised disposal of application forms, worth crores of rupees by the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board (MPPEB) have been pointed out in an audit report.
