Dimapur, February 5 (MExN): The contempt petition filed against Nagaland police for inaction on corruption in the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) Nagaland which was due for hearing today at the Supreme Court was withdrawn by the petitioners. The petitioners, Dr Rosemary Dzuvichu and Vilanuo Angela Yhome had filed the contempt petition after the police failed to register any FIR and also failed to complete the investigation in the NRHM corruption case. Dr Dzuvichu on Friday told The Morung Express that they decided to withdraw the contempt petition since they have also filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) on the corruption case to which the SC judge had asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Central government to be impleaded. Notice have been issued in this connection and hearing on the SLP is being awaited, Dr Dzuvichu informed. The petitioners are asking the SC for a CBI investigation into the NRHM corruption case.
