The Nursing Ekta Manch (NEM) has warned of agitation if transparency is not maintained in the investigation into alleged irregularities in nursing recruitment. The Manch submitted a memorandum to the Dehradun superintendent of police (City) of Shekhar Chandra Suyal on Friday regarding alleged transactions and irregularities that surfaced during the recruitment process.
According to NEM members, the forum demanded clarification on action taken so far, progress of the investigation and status of the investigation related to people arrested in the case.
It should also be clarified what action or investigation is being carried out at the police level regarding people who have allegedly given money, they said.
They said that in its memorandum, NEM also raised several questions regarding statements and money transactions. According to the forum, it has come to light that Preeti had allegedly given money to Charu Chandra Joshi in the case. Money was given saying that the amount was being given for his father’s operation. On the other hand, it has come to light that Neha had given money for business.
Raising questions over different reasons cited for the money, NEM questioned why money was transferred to Preeti only after the exam date was announced and PDFs of relevant documents were subsequently shared. It demanded that all these points be seriously considered during investigation and the true nature of matter be revealed. NEM members said that investigation should not be limited to monetary transactions only, but all aspects — should be investigated. If during investigation, involvement of other people is suspected, their role should also be probed impartially.
They further said that during the interaction, the SP (City) spoke with the investigating officer in the case. After this, representatives of NEM were asked to meet the investigating officer on September 29 to obtain information about the case.
NEM members demanded that whoever is found guilty in the investigation should be proceeded against as per the rules. If transparency is not maintained and the actual status of the investigation is not made clear, it will be forced to take the path of agitation.
