The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a fresh supplementary chargesheet against two accused in Bhopal in connection with a case related to Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh, officials said on Thursday.

Two persons - Sanjay Yadav and Sanjeet Yadav - have been named in the chargesheet filed on Wednesday in a Vyapam case relating to cheating by impersonation in Police Constable Recruitment Test 2013 (Second).

The examinations were conducted by Vyavsayik Pariksha Mandal (Vyapam) or the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board (MPPEB).

The accused persons were booked on charges of impersonation, cheating and forgery under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and sections of the Madhya Pradesh Recognised Examinations Act 1937.

"The findings are based on the investigation done by the CBI on the basis of evidence," a CBI official said.

The Supreme Court on July 9, 2015, handed over the Vyapam cases to the central agency. At least 48 people linked to the Vyapam scam have died, some mysteriously.

The CBI has till now registered 155 FIRs and seven chargesheets in the Vyapam scam.

The agency registered its first Vyapam case on July 16, 2015.
