Chouhan tried to suppress Vyapam scam, alleges Congress

July 12, 2015

Bhopal, Jul 12: Opposition Congress on Sunday questioned Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s statements claiming credit for initiating probe into Vyapam scam, and alleged that he tried to “cover up” the scandal for many years. shivraj singh chauhan

It claimed that though the first FIR was filed in 2009, Mr. Chouhan did not admit that there were any irregularities till the second FIR was filed in the scam in 2014.

“The first FIR relating to the scam was registered on July 19, 2009 by state Medical Education department (with MP Nagar police station in Bhopal). However, 20 months later, Chouhan on March 31, 2011 told the state Legislative Assembly that as per investigations into the FIR no student got admission to MBBS course through fraudulent means,” state Congress chief spokesman KK Mishra told reporters.

Mr. Chouhan has been claiming that he had blown the lid off the massive examination and recruitment scam in the state Professional Examination Board (MPPEB), commonly known as Vyapam by the Hindi acronym of Vyavsayik Pareesksha Mandal.

Mr. Mishra said the second FIR (no. 539/14) was registered with Rajendra Nagar police station in Indore by crime branch in January 2014.

“After this, the CM interestingly accepted in the Legislative Assembly on January 15, 2014 that around 1000 ’Munna Bhais’ (colloquial term for fraudsters) have secured admission in MBBS in government colleges by fraudulent means. However, he (Chouhan) didn’t divulge details of these Munna Bhais for reasons best known to him,” the Congress leader said.

“These incidents lay bare Chouhan’s claim that he was a whistleblower,” Mr. Mishra said, adding that Mr. Chouhan’s claim was “wrong and false” and that he actually tried to “cover up” the scam.

The high-profile scam was being probed by the Special Task Force under the monitoring of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted by the Madhya Pradesh High Court before the Supreme Court ordered the CBI to investigate the scam which has rocked the nation with a spate of deaths of people associated with the scandal.

Under the massive scam, hundreds of students secured admissions in MBBS course in government colleges allegedly through fraudulent means while a large number of candidates got jobs in government departments with the alleged collusion of bureaucrats and politicians.

A look at the trail the Vyapam scam has left since 2007:

Noting that it will not allow even one more death, the Supreme Court transferred all criminal and death cases linked to the Vyapam scam to the Central Bureau of Investigation for a “fair and impartial” probe.

The Supreme Court has ordered a CBI probe into the multi-crore cash-for-jobs scam in the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board that has resulted in unexplained deaths of key accused and witnesses.

Walking from Delhi to MP, man dies in Agra amid lockdown

Agencies

March 29,2020

Agra, Mar 29: A 39-year-old man, who had walked almost 200 kilometers from Delhi to reach his home in Morena in Madhya Pradesh, collapsed and died in Agra on Saturday.

The man, identified as Ranveer Singh, worked as home delivery boy for a private restaurant in the national capital.

According to police, the victim collapsed near Kailash turning of the national highway-2, after which a local hardware store owner Sanjay Gupta rushed to the victim.

Sikandra station house officer (SHO) Arvind Kumar, said, 'Gupta made the victim lie on a carpet and offered tea and biscuit. The victim complained about chest pain and also called his brother-in-law Arvind Singh over phone to share his health condition. At around 6.30 P.m, the victim passed away and local police was informed. "

Ranveer had left for his native village on Friday morning on foot. It is likely that exhaustion of 200-km walk might have caused chest pain.

The SHO said,"On the entire NH-2 stretch, UP policemen are present with food packets and water for such persons but Ranveer's death is unfortunate. "

After the death, policemen took the victim's body for post-mortem. The autopsy report is yet to be re eased.

According to information available, Ranveer was working in Delhi's Tughlakabad for the past three- years. He is survived by three children including two daughters. He belongs to a family of farmers and was the main bread winner for his family.

His family has been brought to Agra to take the body back to their village for the last rites.

Invite all Babri masjid demolition accused to Ram temple ‘bhumi puja’: Hindutva outfit chief

Agencies

July 23,2020

Ayodhya, Jul 23: All 32 accused in the Babri mosque demolition case should be invited to the "bhumi pujan" ceremony for the construction of the Ram temple here and honoured, a Hindutva outfit leader has said.

Hindu Dharma Sena president Santosh Dubey is one of the main accused in the case.

Dubey also insisted that the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra Trust must also invite all the four Shankaracharyas to the ceremony planned on August 5.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also likely to attend the event.

"The office bearers of Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra must ensure that along with all 32 accused in the Babri mosque demolition case, the families of the kar sevaks who gave their lives in the Ram Temple movement must also be invited to the 'bhumi pujan' ceremony and must be honoured there," Dubey told PTI.

The top court verdict in favour of the Ram temple at the site would not have been possible had the Babri mosque not been demolished, he said.

"If the Trust does not invite the kar sevaks, it will a display of ego and arrogance. Without inviting the kar sevaks who have been accused in Babri mosque demolition and the families of the slain kar sevaks, the 'bhumi pujan' will remain incomplete," Dubey added.

A special CBI court in Lucknow is recording the statements of the 32 Babri demolition accused under section 313 of the CrPC, which enables them to plead their innocence, if they so want.

The court is conducting day-to-day hearings to complete the trial by August 31 as directed by the Supreme Court.

The mosque in Ayodhya was demolished on December 6, 1992 by 'kar sevaks' who claimed that an ancient Ram temple had stood on the same site. Former deputy prime minister L K Advani and BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi were leading the Ram temple movement at that time.
