AGARTALA, Feb 25 (TIWN): Yet after several months has passed that the scam of NHM of Rs. 4.47 has came in to lime light, Tripura police is still stuck with the investigation procedure with no update.It is to be mentioned here that after the former NHM Mission Director Dr. Sandeep N Mahatme has filed FIR against 17 Medical officials, till date no action is taken against the accused.It seems like loopholes in the police investigation is yet successful in saving the prime accused involved in the NHM scam worth an amount of Rs 33 crore of money.Police is simply silent over the issue and is least bothered to take any action. National Health Mission (NHM) scam at Unakoti District has brought an embarrassment for the Tripura Left front government once again.With the delay in the investigation process, question erupts why there is no development brought in the police investigation to the scam? Why are the accused roaming free even after lodging FIR and why is police yet silent about arresting the accused ? However, question also arises who is protecting the accused from going behind the bars.

Earlier talking to TIWN, PPC President Birajit Sinha said that months back FIR was lodged but so far no action is taken to nab them and the accused are roaming free.

However, it is worthy to mention here that former NHM (National Health Mission) Mission Director Dr. Sandeep N Mahatme has atleast took the initiatives to file FIR against 17 Medical officials for direct involvement in the embezzlement in Kailashahar and North Tripura. Dr. Mahatme filed FIR against 17 Doctors.

FIR is filed against 12 Medical officials of North District CMO office and 5 Medical officials of Unakoti District CMO office including Former CMO Unakoti Dr. Dilip Das, Present CMO Dr Alak Dewan, Dr Subhas Barua, Dr. S.N. Chaudhury, and Dr. Debashis Talapatra.

However, uncertainty looms large over the issue as yet after several months have passed no initiative has been taken to solve the case and to arrest the culprits. However, the alleged accuseds are roaming free without any fear of arrest by the police.
