No need of CBI probe into Vyapam scam, says Rajnath Singh

July 6, 2015

Jhabua (MP), Jul 6: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said the SIT probe into Vyapam scam was being monitored by the Madhya Pradesh High Court and the government cannot direct the court to hand it over to CBI.rajnath singh

"SIT probe into the scam is on, and the government cannot direct the High Court or the Supreme Court on the issue," Singh said, speaking to reporters here.

Asked why the state government was avoiding a CBI probe into the massive recruitment/admission scam, Singh said the High Court and the apex court had already rejected a PIL in this regard. "There is no point in handing over the ongoing probe to CBI at this juncture," he said

"In case someone tries to influence the probe, or if any incident takes place that affects the investigation, then I am sure that the court will take cognisance.

"If the Supreme Court or the High Court feels that the probe is not perfect to the extent it should be, then it will give directions and the government will immediately accept it and hand over the matter to the CBI," Singh said.

He also pointed out that the current probe was being conducted by a High Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT), and was being monitored by the court.

"Politics should be done (only) on positive and right issues," he said, adding that "both Chouhan and I want complete probe into the scam," when asked about the death of several accused or witnesses related to the scam.

He arrived here to pay tribute to the late BJP MP Dileep Singh Bhuria at his ancestral village Macchlia near here.

Trainee sub-inspector Anamika Sikarwar (25) was found dead in a lake in Sagar district today. It followed the unexplained deaths of journalist Akshay Singh and Jabalpur Medical College Dean Arun Sharma.

Jan 30: BJP leader and West Bengal party head, Dilip Ghosh has yet again made a controversial statement. He said that one has to go to jail in order to gain respect or become a political leader.

"You will not be a leader if you don't go to jail, if Police don't take you, then you must go there yourself. If they don't give you any scope, you do something to go to jail, only then will people respect you. There is no place for soft people in politics," ANI quoted Ghosh as saying.

Earlier, Ghosh had triggered a controversy by saying that anti-CAA protestors in Assam and Uttar Pradesh were shot dead "like dogs", and similar punishment should be given to protestors in Bengal.

Mumbai, May 10: Air India, which is operating flights to evacuate Indians stranded in foreign countries, have asked its pilots to undertake coronavirus test before they operate such flights, the sources said.

"Five Air India pilots have tested positive for coronavirus. These pilots were tested one after one. We suspect it could be a case of faulty testing kit as well," one of the sources said.

The five pilots fly Boeing 787 planes, the second source said.

Air India spokesperson did not offer any comment.

A senior airline official said the five pilots had not operated any flight in the last three weeks.

"These pilots had operated cargo flights to China prior to April 20," the official said.
