The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered the second case against seven accused relating to alleged illegalities in the Police Constable Recruitment Test 2013 conducted by Vyavsayik Pariksha Mandal (Vyapam), or the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board (MPPEB).

The probe agency registered the third First Information Report (FIR) against one accused relating to the alleged illegalities in the Police Constable Recruitment Test 2012.
