Vyapam, the scam of scams in Madhya Pradesh, has leaders running for cover

The Vyapam scam has, apparently, been going on ever since 2000 when the first FIR had been registered and, with several deaths being attributed to Vyaam in some way of the other, it would take some serious digging to unearth the magnitude of the scam.
The CBI has been given the responsibility to investigate and it would be a Herculean task for them because more than 1,000 complaints are still pending investigation with the special task force (STF) and, at least 200 of these complaints have crucial information that can be converted into FIRs.
The first FIR into the scam, registered by the police in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur district in 2000, is yet to be closed.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 10 July 2015.

It is understood that the CBI officers will have to spend at least three weeks with the STF to understand the status of investigations and then take over the investigation. As far as statistics go, after taking over investigations into the Vyapam scam, the STF was working on 55 different FIRs. They have presented chargesheets in 27 cases.
As a result, more than 1,930 people were arrested while 550 others are on the run. Since the names of many high profile individuals have come up, it would be difficult for CBI to create the true picture with the help of pieces of the jigsaw puzzle.
As per the Supreme Court ruling, the CBI will handle the investigation of the Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh with more than 30 deaths allegedly linked to the job recruitment scandal.
