Lawyer Vivek Tankha to move SC over Vyapam scam accused deaths

New Delhi: Dubbing the Vyapam Scam as the 'biggest cover up story', senior advocate Vivek Tankha on Monday said that he would move the Supreme Court over death of the 42 accused and witnesses in the case.

"I have never heard of such a big scam anywhere in world. It is India's biggest cover up story. We are going to move the Supreme Court over the matter now. We have trust in the Supreme Court; will place all the facts there. It is unprecedented that more than 40 people have died," said Tankha.

As per reports, 42 people, including the accused and the witnesses in this case have died.

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.
