Lucknow A key accused in Uttar Pradesh's National Rural Health Mission scam has shot himself dead on Monday morning, according to police sources.

Project manager Sunil Verma's role was being probed in the mismanagement of thousands of crores of central funds to be spent in the state health sector.

On Friday, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) had found anomalies in the spending of around Rs 5,000 crore under the scheme in about two dozen districts of the state.

The state health department has failed to give proper details of spendings worth around Rs 5,000 crore of the Rs 8,657 crore given to the state, highly placed sources said.

Several officials, including former health minister Babu Singh Kushwaha, are under CBI scanner for their alleged involvement in the scam.
