The Vyqapam scam broke out in 2013 after the Indore police arrested 20 people for impersonating candidates in the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board, popularly known as Vyapam (Vyavsayik Pariksha Mandal). Vyapam held competitive exams for recruitment to government jobs and for admissions to state-run medical colleges. The scam involved recruitment of undeserving candidates who allegedly bribed politicians and officials to get high ranks in the exams. It got murkier when a number of people-whistleblowers, witnesses and alleged beneficiaries-died under mysterious circumstances during the course of the investigations which revealed large-scale fraud committed by multiple rackets for years. In February 2017, the Supreme Court cancelled the degrees of 634 doctors.
