The CBI is set to register one more FIR in connection with irregularities committed in awarding contracts related to purchase of “mobile medical vans” under the National Rural Health Mission programme in Uttar Pradesh (UP). The FIR, involving top bureaucrats of the state government, is likely to be registered in a day or two.

Babu Singh Kushwaha, former family welfare minister of Uttar Pradesh, has told CBI interrogators that the Mayawati-led UP government diverted central funds meant to be spent under the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in the state in other programmes, including political activities.

The CBI on Saturday arrested former Uttar Pradesh family welfare minister Babu Singh Kushwaha and BSP MLA from Barhaj Assembly constituency (Deoria) Ram Prasad Jaiswal in connection with its probe into the multi-crore National Rural Health Mission scam in the state.

Former UP family welfare minister Babu Singh Kushwaha and BSP MLA from Barhaj Assembly constituency (Deoria) Ram Prasad Jaiswal are accused in a case relating to upgradation of 134 district hospitals for Rs 13.4 crore by Construction and Design Services, an UP Jal Nigam unit, sources said.

The CBI investigation into the Shehla Masood murder case has revealed that the Bhopal-based interior designer allegedly decided to eliminate the RTI activist because of her growing closeness with a local BJP MLA.

The CBI on Thursday conducted searches at the residence of interior designer Zahida Parvez in Bhopal in connection with the murder of RTI activist Shehla Masood. The agency on Tuesday arrested Zahida and an alleged contract killer, Saqib Ali ‘Danger’,' alias Shyam, in connection with the case. Sources said CBI officials conducted searches at Parvez's residence in Maharana Pratap Nagar area in Bhopal and recovered certain documents which are being further scrutinised. The agency sleuths also recovered some files related to the construction of a hotel in Bhopal from the residence of Zahida.

The CBI on Saturday registered a fresh case in connection with the alleged irregularities committed in awarding Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)’s Leased Service Area (LSA) contract for Worldwide interoperability for Microwave access (WiMax) services to a private firm. The LSA contract (worth `535 crores) for WiMax services, which is being probed by the agency, was allegedly awarded during former communications minister A. Raja’s tenure.

More trouble seems to be in store for former communications minister A. Raja with the CBI deciding to convert its existing “preliminary enquiry” (PE), registered to probe alleged irregularities in the award of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)’s WiMax franchise to a private firm, into a regular case. Sources said the CBI is set to convert its PE into a regular case on Friday.
