Bhopal, June 28 (IBNS) Another accused in the Vyapam scam of Madhya Pradesh- an admission and recruitment scam involving politicians, officials and businessmen- has died at an jail in Indore, media reports said on Sunday.

The deceased accused has been identified Narendra Singh Tomar.

In May, pharmacist  Vijay Singh, a key  accused in the Vyapam scam concerning the unauthorised disposal of application forms for exams has been found dead in a lodge in Kanker district of Chhattisgarh.

Madhya Pradesh Governor Ram Naresh Yadav's son, Shailesh, was also found dead under mysterious circumstances.

Alleged financial and administrative irregularities, including unauthorised disposal of application forms, worth crores of rupees by the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board (MPPEB) have been pointed out in an audit report.

Indore Bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court earlier served notices to MPPEB and Medical Council of India (MCI) following a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by parents of some students after reports that more than 300 ineligible candidates managed to get into the merit list.
