New Delhi:
The Central Bureau of Investigation has collected the medical reports of TV journalist Akshay Singh from his family to ascertain if he had any medical pre-condition, which might have led to his sudden death.
The CBI sources said the medical reports of Mr Singh, who was tracking the story of alleged Vyapam beneficiary Namrata Damor, have been sent to a medical board.
They said the office staff of the channel may also be quizzed in this connection.
Akshay Singh was tracking the story of Ms Damor whose body was found on a rail track in Ujjain triggering speculation of foul play in her death, as she was the alleged beneficiary of Vyapam scam. The reporter collapsed at her house after interviewing her parents.
He was among over 35 people linked directly or indirectly with the scam who were found dead in mysterious circumstances over a period of time.
The sources said that the agency is probing all the angles related to the mysterious death.
Ms Damor's father Mehtab Singh Damor had said Akshay Singh and two others visited their house in Jhabua district in Mahdya Pradesh on July 4 afternoon.
After the interview, when Akshay Singh was waiting for someone to get some papers, he started frothing at the mouth. He was rushed to the civil hospital and later to a private hospital, but doctors failed to revive him. From there he was taken to another hospital in nearby Dahod in Gujarat, where he was declared brought dead.
