Vyapam scam: MP minister Babulal Gaur says deaths of 25 accused were natural

Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Babulal Gaur on Monday dismissed opposition's calls for a CBI enquiry into the deaths of those involved in the Vyapam scam. Gaur said that people keep dying every day due to several reasons and it is natural. It was in Madhya Pradesh in 2013, when a professional examination scam broke and authorities thought it was just another case of candidates paying touts to get into a coveted college. But now, over two years later, the irregularities have snowballed into a massive multi-layered scam that has claimed the lives of 24 whistleblowers, accused and witnesses with others saying they received death threats as the top leaders find themselves embroiled in the scandal. Unofficial reports put the toll at 41.
