Raipur: The Vyapam scandal of 2011 in Chhattisgarh on Tuesday took a new turn with the judge, who has convicted five people in the case recently, accusing a ruling BJP MLA of threatening him for his judgment.
Bilashpur additional chief judicial magistrate Prabhakar Gwal who sentenced five persons to six years imprisonment each last month in a case relating to leakage of question papers of PMT, being conducted by Chhattisgarh Professional Examination Board or Vyapam, in 2011, filed a complaint with the Civil Lines police station here alleging that the BJP legislator Ramlal Chouhan threatened him.
“On August 7, a person barged into my room in the court and identified himself as MLA from Saraipalli constituency Ramlal Chouhan. He said the criminal investigation department as well as state Intelligence bureau of Chhattisgarh police has launched a probe against me. He said my wife had lobbied for MLA ticket from BJP in the last Assembly elections and investigation is on by police to find out to whom she had approached for this”, the complaint lodged by the judge said.
“That person threatened me either to implicate me a criminal case or cause harm to any of my family member,” Justice Gwal said in his complaint.
