CBI sources said that both Vijaybargiya and Sharma are accused in the PMT-2013 admission scam, whose charge sheet had been submitted before court last November. Since then both of them have been absconding. A CBI team visited their residences on Friday afternoon and issued the warning to their family members.

The charge-sheet of the 2013-PMT scam was submitted before the special court in Bhopal on November 1, 2017, and had named 490 persons.
