The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday morning issued notices to 11 officers, contractors and politicians summoning them to Delhi headquarters of the agency for questioning in connection with the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) scam. In Lucknow, a dozen member team of the CBI has started visitng the primary health centers and community centers to verify if the money sanctioned to the people under different schemes of the NRHM were actually received by them and if yes then how have they spent it.

The verification Those issued notices by the CBI include the Narendra Jain and his son Vivek Jain of Moradabad along with their business contact Saurabh Jain. Saurabh is believed to be the link between the former minister for family welfare Babu Singh Kushwaha and the contractors. The link is being seen as a critical one with regards to establishing the connivance of Kushwaha in the scam.

The focus of the CBI investigations at these CHCs and PHCs is the implementation of Janani Suraksha Yojna (JSY) aimed at promoting institutionalised delivery of preagnent women in order to improve the infant mortality rate. In this scheme every expecting woman is entitled to a financial help of Rs 1400 in cash the child is delivered at the CHC / PHC. The CBI probe has unearthed instances where money was given to women as old as 60 years in age for delivery. In some places, initial verification has revealed that the beneficiary mentioned in the records was actually a man. In some other instances, some woman who had died 10 years ago, were issued financial help.

In order to gather concrete evidence in these anomalies the CBI is conducting the verification exercise at the ground level and infront of the signing authority.
