Madhya Pradesh Law Minister PC Sharma said on Tuesday that fresh disclosures, if any, in the Vyapam scam would be investigated.

He was replying to a query on senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh's July 21 letter to Chief Minister Kamal Nath demanding accused students be made government approvers so that the main perpetrators in the Vyapam scam can be nailed.

The Vyapam scam refers to irregularities in exams held by the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board, also called Vyavasayik Pareeksha Mandal or Vyapam, for admission in professional courses and state services.

"We will investigate any disclosure that comes forth in the Vyapam," Sharma said.

Several Congress leaders in the state have demanded a detailed probe into the scam that took place during the tenure of the previous BJP government.

"Yes we want untouched areas in the scam to be investigated thoroughly," MP minister Jaivardan Singh said.
