Bhopal: Vyapam whistle-blower Ashish Chaturvedi alleged that the CBI is not ready to take from him vital evidence related to Vyapam. No attempt was made to receive evidences, despite writing so many times to CBI officials, Chaturvedi alleged. He has been trying to submit evidences to the CBI officials since December 2016, Chaturvedi claimed.

Chaturvedi had written to CBI joint director RP Agarwal on December 14 in 2016.

In the letter, Chaturvedi had informed the CBI official, he was raising issues pertaining to corruption in Vyapam for so many years and ‘Madhya Pradesh Special Task Force (MPSTF), the agency that was investigating the case before CBI took over the investigations registered several FIRs on the basis of complaints, evidences provided by me.”

He had requested officials, “Kindly share a few minutes out of your busy schedule so that I can share some crucial information/evidence regarding ongoing Vyapam scam investigations.”

“But I have not received any reply on the letter since that time. I was once told by a CBI official the Vyapam scam is an indoor crime that took place in a confined place and it had occurred several years ago, thus it is not possible to investigate the scam now. This seems to be illogical as murder or rape also takes place indoor most of the time, shouldn’t police investigate it?,” Chaturvedi said.

“Now, the CBI is not taking evidences on record. Circumstances raise doubts about the fate of investigation being carried out,” Chaturvedi alleged.

“I was approached a couple of times by CBI officials and even I approached them few times, but they do not want to take evidence on record. They always ask me to give evidences unofficially. Why should these evidences be given unofficially? What is the reason that the investigation agency is not willing to take it on record,” Chaturvedi asked.
