MP CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan meets journalist Akshay Singh's family
"We can't do anything to bring the son and the brother back. But we will extend all support. We offer assistance and a job," he told reporters after coming out of the deceased journalist's home in Mayur Vihar, east Delhi.
"It is my mission in life to get to the bottom of this. I appeal that the CBI should probe this," the Chief Minister said about the Vyapam recruitment scam that has besieged his government. At least 36 people linked to the scam have died.
On Tuesday, Chouhan had requested the Madhya Pradesh High Court to order a CBI inquiry into the scam. The High Court turned down the request, saying it cannot take that decision as the Supreme Court will hear petitions on it.
While conducting an interview in Madhya Pradesh with the family of Namrata Damor, a Vyapam accused, who had died in 2012, Akshay Singh had begun frothing at the mouth and soon collapsed.
