The petitioner has sought a CBI enquiry into it to unravel the truth and fix responsibility. He has argued that since 75% money involved in the matter belonged to government of India, only a central agency can find out the truth.
The PIL has made the district magistrates and civil surgeons of Samastipur, Madhubani and Muzaffarpur accused in the case. Besides it also made the principal secretaries of health and home departments of Bihar accused.
As reported earlier uterus of thousands of BPL women were allegedly removed without their consent, or necessity, by private hospitals or clinics, so as to claim health care insurance money under the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana.
