The CBI is all set to wind up Vyapam scam probe. Almost five years after Supreme Court asked CBI to take over the Vyapam scam probe from Madhya Pradesh police. 

CBI has filed 155 chargesheets, against 3,500 people, but whistleblowers have termed the probe ‘disappointing’.

Investigation is pending against 300 people in the premedical test-2013 and PMT-2012 cases, where some influential people are among the accused, say officials. “We have got clearance to file chargesheets in three cases in which investigations have been completed. Only two cases are pending probe. Our task would be over,” said a CBI officer.

When the central agency took over the Vyapam probe from MP STF on July 13, 2015, opposition parties and whistleblowers had expected swift action. Initially, a 40-member team was formed by the CBI director. It wasn’t long before some officers began asking to be sent back to their parent posting, claiming that it would take two decades to get to the bottom of India’s biggest recruitment scam.
