Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday assured that he will hand over the investigation of journalist Akshay Singh's death to the Special Investigation Team.
The findings of the autopsy were suggestive of the death being "homicidal", as per the autopsy report issued on January 9, 2012.
The onus for ordering a CBI probe into the Vyapam scam now rests with Supreme Court after the Madhya Pradesh high court on Wednesday deferred hearing on a state government's plea for an inquiry by the central agency, saying the apex court would hear similar petitions on Thursday.
Bowing to public outcry, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Tuesday said he will request the high court to order a CBI probe into the Vyapam case, including the large number of deaths of people allegedly linked to the scam.
