The Enforcement Directorate's money laundering probe into the Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh is "on track", the agency's chief said today.

"The probe in this case is on track. We have made some attachments earlier (against the accused under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act)," ED Director Rajan Katoch told reporters in Kolkata.

He was asked about the progress in this case in Madhya Pradesh after he came out of the ED office in Salt Lake. He was on a day's visit to the East zone regional office of the agency based in the West Bengal capital.

The central probe agency had registered a criminal FIR in March last year to probe alleged financial irregularities and laundering instances in the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board scam, also called 'Vyapam' in Hindi, pertaining to admission of candidates and students in professional courses and state services in alleged connivance with officials and politicians.

The agency had named former state Higher Education Minister Laxmikant Sharma and 27 others in its FIR. ED investigators, based in Madhya Pradesh's Indore, have also attached assets worth over Rs 3 crore of an alleged mastermind of the scam, Jagdish Sagar, in connection with their probe in April.
