Congress MLA Jitu Patwari told media persons “Congress legislature party has decided to ferret out the actual cause of death of Vyapam scam accused because the government was twisting facts and playing down the issue. CLP leader Satyadev Katare has formed a single-member panel of Patwari to meet the family members of each dead Vyapam scam accused
Patwari said “The party would raise the issue right from the streets to the Assembly and also move the High Court if needed. We will take affidavits from the family members of the accused if they allege some conspiracy in deaths of their kin and also regarding their allegations against STF and police officers.”
The MLA said that the kin of some the deceased accused did not even know that their family member was an accused in Vyapam scam. They came to know about it only after their death. Patwari also said that the deaths in accidents were fishy.
CLP leader Katare, in the letter said that the total deaths in Vyapam scam had reached 44 and that BJP leaders are dishing out misleading figures. The single-member committee will find out the truth and submit its report till July 19 for discussion in the CLP.
