AGARTALA, May 10 (TIWN): A major embarrassment for Tripura Police, and the Director General of Police (DGP) K Nagaraj as the High Court of Tripura directed DGP to take disciplinary action against two police officers, Addl Superintendent of Police (Unakoti) Nabadwip Jamatia and Kailasahar Police Station Officer In-charge Chabir Ahamed for violating the rules of Supreme Court and High Court on National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) Rs. 30 crore scam case.

 Talking to TIWN on Saturday in this regard Addl. SP Nabadwip Jamatia said, “Actually we have failed to make honorable HC understand about the actual matter.” He said, “As of now we have not received any order sheet from the Police Head Quarter (PHQ).”“After the PHQ issues the order sheet of our suspension we would like to take a stock of the situation later,” adding Jamatia said, “The allegation that has been brought against us is not the actual fact, but we would look into the matter later.”

Asked about the so called “actual fact”, Jamatia explained, “The persons named in that complaint were not found involved in any culpable act in the inquiry. But the complaint filed by Dr. Sandeep N. Mahatme, the Mission Director, National Health Mission is specific about the misappropriation of the public fund.”

However later asked about the current status of the NRHM scam investigation Jamatia said, “The case remained pending with the police head quarter now.” Depending on the future status of the order sheet that is yet to be issued by PHQ police would take up the investigation, Jamatia told to TIWN. He also said that order for taking up the case by the CID has also not yet come.

Earlier Congress Chief Birajit Sinha went to Kailashahar Police Station to lodge an FIR but the Police refused to register any case into the alleged scam.

 Following which Sinha moved to High Court and filed a Writ Petition seeking CBI probe.High Court Justice Subhashish Talapatra on Friday hearing the case declared that the conduct of the police officers is reprehensible and they are hereby ‘censured’.

‘Censure’ be recorded in their service records, Court directed DGP K Nagaraj on Friday. A pathetic state of Tripura police under the leadership of multiple corruption tainted, CBI-Chargesheeted DGP K. Nagraj.

Addl. SP Nabadwip Jamatia has further submitted that as this court has been examining the matter, they preferred not to register any case on that complaint. He has categorically contended that the complaint of the petitioner even does not clearly reveal commission of cognizable offence.

However, but the court on Friday hearing the petition filed by Congress MLA Birajit Sinha said it does not suit in the mouth of the police officers to say that the Mission Director revealed something new forming disclosure of the cognizable offence.

Justice Talapatra mentioned " Court has no hesitation to hold that the conduct of the police officers in this case is not only regrettable but is highly illegal. But in the circumstance, this court cannot grind the time for asking them to register the case on the basis of the information/complaint filed by the petitioner. 

However but, it is worthy to mention here that the Court’s order recently to the DGP has once again brought a major embarrassment for the Tripura Police.

Besides, on the other the investigation to the NRHM scam that has been unearthed at Unakoti District has come to a grinding halt with the accused Chief Medical Officers roams free yet today.
