The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered the preliminary inquiry into journalist Akshay Singh's death.
Akshay Singh, a journalist working for a leading Delhi-based news channel, suddenly took ill and died after having interviewed parents of a girl who had been found dead near railway tracks, after her name figured in the Vyapam scam.
