BHOPAL (Madhya Pradesh): The Lokayukta of Bhopal has registered a fresh case against the executive engineer of the National Health Mission (NHM) for accumulating properties disproportionate to his known sources of income.

The properties of the engineer have been estimated at Rs 500, 00, 000.

A contractor, Chandrabhan Vishwakarma, had lodged a complaint that Jain had demanded dough for clearing the bills of a construction work. Vishwakarma had done the construction work at the district hospital, Seoni.

After the complaint, the Lokayukta sleuths laid a trap and asked Vishwakarma to go ahead with the deal.

According to the deal, the complainant had to give Rs 200,000 and a cheque of Rs 100,000.

The engineer accumulated Rs 9000,000, and, after deducting his expenses, he may have saved Rs 6000,000 including properties.
