Yadav was named as an accused in the scam last year, but was then removed from the case because his office entitles him to immunity from investigation.

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.
