The scam relates to the UPA government’s flagship Mission launched in 2005 under which, according to the CAG, Rs 5,754 crore sent by the Centre to Uttar Pradesh government were not accounted for. The funds meant for providing affordable health services to poor citizens were allegedly misappropriated by officials, contractors, middlemen and politicians. The properties attached on Monday under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, included 7 bank deposits valued at Rs 68.62 lakh in the name of S.K. Pandey and A.K Shukla. The ED traced the proceeds of crime linked to the misutilisation/embezzlement of NRHM funds and has now attached these movable and immovable properties valued at £89.84 lakh, said the official. The accused firms fraudulently supplied medicines and medical equipment under NRHM scheme to hospitals at exorbitant rates which were higher than the prevalent rate contract rates, causing loss to the exchequer to the tune of Rs 1.14 crore.
