Vyapam: CBI files supplimentary chargesheet against three accused

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday has filed a supplementary charge sheet in the Vyapam scam against a solver, a candidate and a middleman in the Court of Special Magistrate in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh.

CBI had registered a case in December last year against the said three accused persons on the orders of the Supreme Court. According to sources, the CBI filed a case based on the fact that invigilators at the examination centre in Gwalior found that photograph and signatures in the application form of the candidate were not matching with the candidate who was appearing in the said examination conducted by Vyapam.

During investigation, CBI found that the candidate had allegedly approached a middleman to arrange a solver for appearing in the PCRT Examination, 2012 on his behalf.

It was alleged that during reconciliation and matching of photograph in PCRT Examination on September 30, 2012, the invigilators at the examination centre at Gwalior found that photograph & signatures in the application form of candidate were not matching with the candidate who was appearing in the said examination conducted by Vyapam. 

The middleman arranged a solver, who impersonated in the examination held on September 30, 2013, on behalf of the candidate.

The State Police had earlier filed charge sheet against the three accused persons. During CBI investigation, forensic opinion was obtained from the CFSL regarding Fingerprint examination & handwriting which conclusively proved that the solver had allegedly impersonated candidate in the said examination fraudulently.
