New Delhi: The Central Bureau on Investigation team will reach Bhopal on Monday to take over investigations in the multi-crore Vyapam scam, an official said. The 40-member team, under a Joint Director level officer, comprises of officers from different branches of the probe agency.
The agency remained tight-lipped on the information about the officers who would be part of the team or who will head it. It also dismissed as "incorrect and baseless" the reports about a Bihar-cadre officer heading the CBI team.
"In compliance to the orders of the Honourable Supreme Court of India, the CBI has constituted a team to take over the investigation of all Vyapam related cases. The CBI team will reach Bhopal on Monday and the begin the process of taking over the investigation," CBI Press Information Officer RK Gaur said.
A bench headed by Chief Justice of India HL Dattu, on July 9, had transferred the probe of all cases related to Vyapam scam to the CBI from Monday asking the investigating agency to file its report before it on July 24.
