BHOPAL : Though the Vyapam scam was not debated in the House but written replies to the questions posed by the members have put a big question mark on the investigations done by Indore Crime Branch and STF.
Home Minister Babulal Gaur, in his written reply to the questions raised by Congress MLAs admitted that the Indore Police registered a case in connection with Vyapam fraud on July 7, 2013 and one hard disc from the computer of former System Analyst Nitin Mahindra was seized on July 18 and the second one on July 26. The parent computer of Vyapam was not seized. To complete formality, it was stated that Mahindra’s laptop was missing.
It was Mahindra who used to decide the logic for allotting roll numbers in examinations to favour particular candidates and no attempt to discover such manipulation in roll number allotment was made except in the case of PMT-2013. The STF did not identify mismatch roll numbers in all post-2008 examinations.
According to Gaur, the role of Vyapam Chairman, officials and employees was investigated. Fake caste certificates and domicile certificates were used in examinations, which have also been investigated.
