Here are details of some of these deaths:
A journalist, Akshay Singh, died suddenly on Saturday while he was investigating the death of a woman in 2012. On Sunday, the dean of a medical college in Jabalpur was found dead at a hotel in Delhi.
At least 10 people in a list released by the state government died in road accidents and five allegedly committed suicide. Two persons who died of suspected heart attacks were 29 and 38 years old.
Three persons were killed in accidents between June 12 and 14, 2010, in Raisen.
Vikas Singh, an alleged middleman, died in November, 2009, of "illness/averse drug reaction". Gyan Singh, also believed to be a middleman, died in June, 2010, of "alcohol related illness." Anantram Tagore, who got his son admitted through the Vyapam exam, died in November, 2010, of an unspecified disease.
Ashutosh Tiwari, another alleged middleman, died of "alcohol-related illness."
There were three road accidents in 2013, in September, October and December. One man died in a road accident in February 2014 and another in April this year.
Dinesh Yadav died of illness, Vikas Pandey died of a brain haemorrhage, Ravendra Prakash Singh died of "suicide/suspected poisoning" and Shailesh Yadav died of "diabetes/brain haemorrhage".
The cause of Narendra Rajput's death in July, 2014, is not clear. His wife says he suffered chest pain. Last month, Rajendra Arya died of a liver infection and Narendra Singh Tomar died of a suspected heart attack.
Activists say that these deaths are suspicious because most of them were young and were a vital link to the scam involving politicians and bureaucrats allegedly accepting kickbacks in exchange for allowing imposters to take the recruitment exam for government jobs and admission to colleges.
In March, questions were also raised when Madhya Pradesh governor Ramnaresh Yadav's son Shailesh Yadav was found dead in Lucknow. Both are accused of a role in the scam.
