Dear Sir
Indian Medical Association expresses it’s deep concerns over the issues revolving the Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh
It is unfortunate to learn that many Doctors and medical students fell victim to either malpractices related to admissions process or have been victimized for having shown the courage to expose the people behind the scam
Indian Medical Association takes strong exception to the fact that almost everyday key witnesses are being found dead in mysterious circumstances. This includes a dean of medical college who has shown exceptional courage in exposing the facts to the special investigation team. IMA requests to kindly speed up the CBI investigation so as to bring all the culprits to justice without delay

Respected Sir,
The Vyapam Scam has shaken the country as well as the medical fraternity. Out of about 40 deaths reported in the media over 12 are linked to the medical profession and to the medical entrance examination. It looks like that wide variations between a private medical college capitation fee and a nominal fee in the Govt. Sector is responsible for the scam and the deaths.
We are happy that the Apex Court has directed a CBI inquiry. But the IMA is concerned about:-
1. The safety of IMA Jabalpur Branch, President, Dr. Sudhir Tiwari who has been one of the whistle blower in the whole episode. He needs Police protection.
2. Two of the Deans of a medical college in Jabapur, Dr. D.K. Sakkale and Dr. Arun Sharma died of unnatural deaths. We need to protect other staff working in the same medical college.
3. The case of Namrata Damor a 19 year old medical student who died in January 2012 hopefully will be reopened. All the doctor who conducted Autopsy on her and said that this was not a case of suicide also need protection.
4. Dr. Rajnder Arya, Vijay Singh Patel, Narendra Singh Tomar, Ramendra Singh Badoria, Amit Sagar, Anshu Sachan, Gyan Singh Jatav, Tarun Machar, Ravindra Pratap Singh they all died of mysterious deaths and were directly linked with the medical profession. This needs thorough probe.
Kindly take this matter seriously with an information to IMA regarding what action has been taken to protect the family of the deceased, faculty indirectly linked with people involved in Vyapam scam and doctors who have performed Autopsy on the deceased persons.
Looking forward for your favorable action.
