New Delhi, July 5 (IBNS): The dean of a medical college in Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh was found dead on Sunday morning at a hotel in Delhi where he had arrived on Saturday, said reports.
He was supposed to travel to Agartala from Delhi as part of an inspection team of Medical Council of India.

In a more shocking news, Dr Arun Sharma was the dean of the college that was linked to the Vyapam recruitment scam.

The dean who was found dead in Delhi on sunday was assisting the Special Task Force that is probing Vyapam scam, by providing documents on fake medical entrance examinees in the state-run medical college that he headed.

Sharma had taken over as dean of the NS Medical College only two months ago.

Reacting to the death of the dean, Congress leader Digvjaya Singh said the earlier dean of the college, was found burnt to death at his home two years ago.

"Incidentally Dr Sakalle earlier Dean of Medical College Jabalpur was found dead burnt in his residence lawns at 730 am 2 yrs back," Singh tweeted.

A post-mortem will be conducted after his son arrives in the capital.

Several  people who were allegedly involved with the scam have been found dead so far.

On Saturday,  a journalist, who was covering the Vyapam scam of Madhya Pradesh, fell ill and died in a hospital.

Akshay Singh was working with Aaj Tak channel.

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.
