July 07, 2015 08:56

One more death as been reported in connection with the deadly scam after a constable Ramakant Pandey was found hanging from the ceiling at a tourist outpost in Tikamgarh in Madhya Pradesh.

The constable had been questioned four months ago by the Special Task Force investigating the Vyapam scam.

Local police has denied allegations of the death being linked to Vyapam scam claiming that Pandey was an alcoholic and was depressed over mounting debt.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court will take up a petition seeking a probe by Central Bureau of Investigation into the high profile Vyapam scam on Tuesday.

The multi-crore scam is becoming murkier with each passing day and over 45 people have died in the case.

On Monday, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said the probe by Special Investigation Team into Vyapam scam was being monitored by the Madhya Pradesh high court and that the government cannot direct the court to hand it over to CBI.

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