In accordance with the orders of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed the current case on August 13, 2015, after assuming the MP Police’s (PS Jhansi Road, Gwalior) FIR No. 97/15, dated March 21, 2015, against Sh. Ashutosh Gupta, Sh. Pankaj Gupta @ Chimman, and others.
It was alleged that Ashutosh Gupta had arranged a solver through Sh. Pankaj Gupta for a consideration of Rs.15 lakh (approx.) for the Pre PG-Exam 2009. Local Police had filed 2 Charge Sheets/supplementary charge sheet.
CFSL provided an opinion on the accused individuals’ handwritings and signatures throughout the CBI Investigation. According to CFSL Expert Opinion, accused candidate Sh. Ashutosh Gupta did not show up for the aforementioned Vyapam examination, which was held in Jabalpur, MP on April 12, 2009.
