What happened
On the night before the 7 July 2013 exam Indore police detained 20 out-of-state men hired to impersonate candidates, exposing the racket; a mastermind's list of 317 candidates was later seized and the STF was constituted on 26 Aug 2013.
What was done
Deaths reported alongside this case
23
SCAM-WIDE, not this single exam: the MP SIT acknowledged 23 'unnatural' deaths of people linked to the Vyapam scam (~7 suicides, ~11 road accidents, ~3 alcohol-related illness); opposition/some press put it at 40-46. CBI probed 24 such deaths and ruled out foul play in every one it examined. Deaths span the whole 2009-2015 scam; attributed to the 2013 PMT row only for indexing. Mostly not suicides and highly contested. Sources: The News Minute, IBTimes, Business Standard.
