The Supreme Court on Thursday began hearing petitions filed by Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh and others for a CBI probe into the Vyapam scam.
Senior lawyers Indira Jaisinh, Kapil Sibal, Prashant Bhushan and Vivek Tankha are expected to be present during the hearing at the apex court.
An apex court bench, headed by Chief Justice H.L. Dattu had on Tuesday agreed to give an urgent hearing and posted the matter for today.
As many as 46 people associated with the scam as accused or witnesses have died under mysterious circumstances, according to reports.
