RG Kar Medical College Case: Trouble mounts for former principal Sandip Ghosh; CBI tightens the nose. RG Kar Medical College scandal: Problems increase for former principal Sandeep Ghosh, CBI tightens screws


A major turn towards justice has come to light in the famous RG Kar Medical College and Hospital case of Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has expedited the process of formally prosecuting and investigating controversial former medical college principal Sandeep Ghosh. Considering the seriousness of this entire episode, a special team of CBI reached the RG Kar Medical College campus today, where important documents and digital evidence related to the incident are being scrutinized. Amidst the questions being raised on the role of Sandeep Ghosh since the beginning, this activism of the investigating agency can prove to be a big challenge for the hospital administration and the state government.

CBI raid in hospital premises and search for evidence As soon as CBI officials entered the hospital, they started taking possession of computer hard drives, attendance registers and CCTV footage of the concerned departments. According to sources, the investigating agency is trying to find out whether there was any lapse at the administrative level at the time of the incident or whether any attempt was made to tamper with the evidence. Sandeep Ghosh, who has been accused of financial irregularities and dictatorial attitude in the past, now seems to be at the center of the conspiracy in this murder and rape case. The CBI team can also interrogate the employees and doctors who were on duty that night.

Shubhendu Adhikari’s claim: ‘I did what I said’ Meanwhile, Leader of Opposition in West Bengal Assembly Subhendu Adhikari has given a big statement welcoming this action of CBI. The officer said that he had promised the people of the state and the victim’s family that he would go to any extent to punish the culprits in this case and the CBI investigation is the result of that promise. The BJP leader directly accused the Mamata Banerjee government of protecting the culprits and said that the commencement of the trial against Sandeep Ghosh is the beginning of the end of corruption and injustice. After his statement, the round of allegations and counter-allegations has intensified in Bengal politics.

Victory of agitating junior doctors and further legal journey The RG Kar case shook the medical world not only in Kolkata but also in the entire country. After a long protest by junior doctors and a legal battle, the administration was finally forced to take action against Sandeep Ghosh. Legal experts believe that if the CBI is successful in gathering solid evidence against Sandeep Ghosh, then this case can expose the deep corruption and syndicate rule prevalent in the Health Department of West Bengal. At present, security arrangements have been tightened outside the hospital and the eyes of the entire country are now fixed on the next status report of CBI.
