Beohari, Oct 10 Resurrecting the Professional Examination Board inconsistencies whose ominous spectre has loomed over Madhya Pradesh’s political sphere for years, erstwhile Congress president Rahul Gandhi alleged on Tuesday that 40 individuals were murdered in cold blood for covering up the scam that resulted in the ruination of one crore youths’ careers.
