July 08, 2015 16:20

Just in: In a dramatic development, the Jabalpur High Court refuses to hear the Madhya Pradesh government's plea for a CBI probe into the Vyapam scam for now. The high court has said it will wait for the Supreme Court ruling on the petition filed before it. The high court has deferred the matter till August 20.

Under pressure from all sides and on apprehension that the Supreme Court may order a CBI probe, MP chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan yesterday wrote to the High Court that the investigation into the Vyapam scam be handed over to the CBI.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday had agreed to hear on July 9 the plea of Congress leader Digvijay Singh and three whistleblowers seeking an apex court-monitored CBI probe into the Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh.
