Kanpur, Jul 8: The local GSVM Medical College is on the radar of Madhya Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) for the alleged involvement of its students in Vyapam medical entrance examination scam of 2013 and eight of its students are missing from the campus.
The medical college management does not know about the current status of these students. According to the administration, either these students are still lodged in jails or have been release on bail.
However, they have not reported back to the college. These are those students who were allegedly accused by the STF for their involvement in Vyapam scam.
"We aren't aware about these eight missing students from batches between 2010 and 2014. No information about these students has been submitted either by their guardians or MP police. They are absent from classes from past few months," an official on the condition of anonymity said.
As many as 22 students, who were found not guilty during interrogation or have been released from different jails across MP on bail, have been re-admitted in the medical college. Such students have been allowed to appear in their examinations and practical tests, which they had missed during the period they remained in jail. The students, who have resumed their studies in GSVM Medical College post investigation, had to submit a 'no objection certificate' before joining the college.
According to a list prepared by GSVM Medical College, 54 students were accused for alleged involvement in Vyapam by MP STF. They belong to batches from 2009 to 2014. Out of these 22 students have re-joined the college, 6 are still in jail and 8 are missing from the college campus. The remaining 18 students were from 2009 batch. The college administration claims that though these 18 students have passed out, their details have been given to the STF. However, the college is not aware about the current status of these students.
The college authorities believe that some of the students could be innocent and just had been named by peers. The students who are out on bail are in the state of depression and anxiety. Sources in the college informed that such students have lost concentration in studies. They are scared with the back to back deaths in the past three days.
"The deaths of people involved in the Madhya Pradesh Vyavsayik Pariksha Mandal (VYAPAM) Medical Entrance Exam scam have caused stir among the countrymen and also left us shaken," a senior faculty member of the medical college said on condition of anonymity.
The first complaint submitted by MP STF to the medical college was on September 22, 2014. But the accused did not turn up before the STF. He was then served notices through the college and finally in January, he appeared before the STF. Many accused students presented themselves
before the probe team in Bhopal, Sagar, Rewa and Jabalpur.
Talking about the fate of student who are still in jail, GSVM Medical College spokesman Ajay Kumar Sharma said: "the state government will to decide whether those students will be allowed to appear in the examination in future or their admission would be terminated."
Both the leaders have been attacking the party leadership over its pro-CAA stand.
