A Jabalpur Medical College dean, Dr Arun Sharma, who was a part of the probe into the Vyapam Scam was found dead in a New Delhi hotel early Sunday. Sharma’s corpse being discovered in less than a day after television Journalist Akshay Sharma’s death, has mounted the pressure on the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh, with Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan promising strict inquiry into the deaths.
Dr Arun Sharma, assisting the investigations into the Vyapam Scam, was supposed to board a flight early on Sunday morning. He, reportedly, had requested the staff of the hotel he was staying in to give him a wake-up call in the early hours on Sunday. However, when no response was incurred from Dr Sharma, the hotel staff immediately rung the police around 6am, who found the doctor lying on the bed.
Some tablets were discovered from the hotel room, which are reckoned to be diabetes pills.
Dr Sharma was rushed to the Deendayal Upadhyay Hospital in the capital, where he was declared dead on arrival. Dr Sharma’s death led to the Indian Medical Association’s Jabalpur wing demand a CBI probe into his mysterious death.
Coincidentally, Dr Sharma’s predecessor, Dr Sakalle was found dead too, exactly a year ago, while he was a part of the probe committee.
