BJP suspends neta named in Vyapam scam case by CBI

July 17, 2015 11:22

The BJP has suspended a leader in Madhya Pradesh who has been named in an FIR or police complaint by the CBI in the Vyapam scam.

The BJP has only just taken action against Gulab Singh Kirar after the CBI FIR, even though he was also named by the Special Investigation Team of the state police last year. At the time, the party choose not to act against him.

The Supreme Court yesterday agreed to hear on Monday the plea of the Central Bureau of Investigation that the Special Investigation Team be allowed to file chargesheets in the Vyapam scam cases in which the investigation is over.

A three-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice H L Dattu, fixed the plea of the probe agency for hearing on July 20 and asked the CBI to serve the copy of the application to the parties concerned.

Additional Solicitor General Maninder Singh, appearing for CBI, said that the transfer of more than 185 Vyapam scam cases from SIT to CBI will take time and the state investigating agency be allowed to file chargesheets in the cases in which the probe is complete.

Otherwise, the accused will get statutory bail on account of default of non-filing of charge sheets within stipulated time period, the ASG said.
