Madhya Pradesh Governor Ram Naresh Yadav's son Shailesh Yadav, who is an accused in the Vyapam scam, was found dead in Lucknow on Wednesday.
Shailesh's body was found on the floor of his room, with reports identifying brain haemorrhage as the cause of death.
The Vyapam scam involved the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board or Vyapam, which holds the exams for positions like medical officers, constables, teachers and auditors for government departments.
The candidates allegedly bribed government officials to make it to the list of those who cleared the test.
