Six persons, including medical aspirants and ‘Munna bhais’, have been named in two charge sheets filed on Tuesday by the CBI in two different cases related to Madhya Pradesh’s Vyapam scam.

The charge sheets were filed in two separate cases related to alleged irregularities in the Pre-Medical Test conducted by the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board (MPPEB) in 2009 and 2010.

In the first case related to the 2010 test, the CBI has named five accused, including two impersonators, a candidate and two other persons who allegedly acted as middlemen.

“The investigation revealed that both impersonators, residents of Bareilly and Chandoli (Uttar Pradesh) had impersonated as candidates in the PMT-2010 written exam held on June 20, 2010, at Guna with the help of middlemen,” said the agency’s spokesperson here. Both the impersonators had earlier jumped bail and were absconding, she said.

“The CBI made extensive efforts during investigation to trace them and both the accused surrendered in the trail court. The investigation against one absconding candidate in this case has been kept open,” the spokesperson said. - PTI
