The Madhya Pradesh government has transferred VYAPAM scam’s whistle blower Dr Anand Rai from Indore to Dhar district. Rai had recently lodged a complaint with the CBI alleging that BJP leader and former Union Minister Vikram Verma, using his influence and power, had got his daughter, pursuing MBBS in Santosh Medical College at Ghaziabad, transferred to Gandhi Medical College in Bhopal. Congress has criticized the state government for transferring VYAPAM’s whistle blower Dr. Anand Rai. The Party alleged that the state government has transferred Dr. Rai from Indore to Dhar to crush his morale in the fight against corruption.
Meanwhile, CBI has registered a preliminary enquiry into the death of VYAPAM accused Vijay Singh. He was found dead in suspicious circumstances in a hotel of Kanker in Chhattisgarh in April this year. Vijay Singh was arrested by the Special Task Force and later released on bail. According to the STF, he was a racketeer in VYAPAM scam. His relatives suspect that he was murdered. The CBI has registered 12 FIRs in the VYAPAM scam so far. It has also initiated preliminary inquiries into the deaths of 11 persons alleged to be linked with the scam.
