New Delhi: The India Today Group said that the cause of the death of its reporter who was probing the Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh was "not clear" and hoped that doctors and law enforcement agencies are able to establish the reason behind it. The group has also issued a statement on the issue urging the Madhya Pradesh government for a fair probe.
"The circumstances of the untimely death of TV Today journalist Akshay Singh merits a full, fair and independent inquiry. We urge the Madhya Pradesh government to immediately have the viscera sample sent to a recognised forensic laboratory outside the state, preferably Delhi's All India Institute of Medical Sciences, for a thorough and transparent examination," the statement said.
"This would assuage the family, friends and well wishers of Akshay who seek some closure. Nothing we do will ever bring back Akshay, a brave and fearless journalist. The India Today group stands by the family in their hour of crisis," the statement added.
The group said that Akshay worked with the Special Investigation Team of Aaj Tak and was an enterprising journalist who had many hard-hitting investigations to his credit.
