The Supreme Court has quashed charges of caste-based violence against Anand Rai, a whistleblower in the Madhya Pradesh VYAPAM examination scam, overturning a high court order.
Last month, Laxman Singh Markam, deputy secretary at the CM secretariat, had lodged a complaint accusing Rai and state Congress chief spokesperson K K Mishra of trying to drag his name in the controversy surrounding the alleged leak of a question paper of MP Teachers' Eligibility Test (TET)-2022 held on March 25.
Home minister and state government spokesman Narottam Mishra claimed the screenshot of the TET paper which has gone viral was forged and called it a conspiracy to malign the image of a senior bureaucrat, who is an aide of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
Dr Anand Rai says the Madhya Pradesh government is harassing him by transferring him and his wife to Dhar and fears for his security in the new posting.
'Out of 45 deaths so far about eight are very suspicious. Every case should be re-investigated.'
While the authenticity of the video has not yet been verified independently, the BJP dubbed it as 'fake and misleading', and said it has been released to tarnish Mishra's image.
Only a Central Bureau of Investigation probe will reveal the truth behind the Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh, the whistlebowers in the case feel.
Ramakant Pandey, who was questioned four months ago, over alleged fraudulent recruitments was found hanging from a ceiling fan.
'The big fish are still out there and people will continue to die till they are brought to justice.'
Authorities have cited lack of elaborate medical facilities in the jail housing around 920 prisoners as the reason for planning to shift the inmates.
Dr Anand Rai says his fight has cost him a great deal. But the battle is far from over.
Key documents related to the seven-year-old scam go missing from medical college in Gwalior.
Pandey is living in New Delhi along with his family.
'Some co-operative banks are dominated by politicians and were reportedly being used to launder Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes.'
