Madhya Pradesh police arrested Vyapam scam whistleblower Dr. Anand Rai in Delhi early on Friday in connection with a case filed by an officer posted in the State Chief Minister's Secretariat here, an official said.
Last month, Laxman Singh Markam, deputy secretary at the CM secretariat, had lodged a complaint accusing Dr. Rai and State Congress chief spokesperson K.K. Mishra of trying to drag his name in the controversy surrounding the alleged leak of a question paper of MP Teachers' Eligibility Test (TET)-2022 held on March 25.
The exam was conducted by the Madhya Pradesh Karmachari Chayan Aayog (Staff Selection Board), which was earlier known as Vyavsayik Pareeksha Mandal (Vyapam). A purported screenshot of the leaked question-cum-answersheet had gone viral on social media, in which the name of one Laxman Singh was visible.
