Indore : Two Lok Ayukta police officials on Tuesday recorded their statements in a special court here in a case pertaining to amassing of disproportionate assets (DA) by Vaypam scam accused Pankaj Trivedi.
DSPs BS Parihar and Daulat Singh Gurjar appeared before the court and recorded their statements as witnesses in the case.
The Lok Ayukta police had filed a chargesheet in the court against Trivedi, a former controller of examination of Vyavsayik Pariksha Mandal (Vyapam), on October 8 last year.
On January 29, 2014, the Lok Ayukta sleuths had raided Trivedi’s place in Indore and Bhopal and found wealth allegedly amassed by him disproportionate to known sources of his income.
Following this, he was booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act. According to a prosecution officer, he had accumulated wealth to the tune of around Rs 84 lakh which include movable and immovable properties.
Trivedi, along with others, had allegedly pocketed huge money as bribes from hundreds of students and people for helping them to crack the Pre Medical Tests (PMTs) and other recruitment tests conducted by Vyapam unlawfully.
Trivedi, along with others, had allegedly rigged many PMT and recruitment tests under Vyapam scam. The much-talked about Vyapam scam is being investigated by the CBI following an apex court’s order.
