Vyapam scam death: Matter will be taken into cognisance, says BJP

New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday said that any incidents related to the Vyapam scam, wherein 42 people, including the accused and the witnesses in the case have died, will be taken into cognisance by the government.

"It's one of the most intensive and robust investigations ever. Any incidents will be taken into cognisance," said BJP spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao.

The Vyapam Scam involved the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board, which holds exams for positions like medical officers, constables, teachers and auditors for government departments.

Candidates allegedly bribed government officials to ensure that they made it to the list of those who cleared the test.
