CBI names Sandip Ghosh, four others in RG Kar financial irregularity case chargesheet

Kolkata/IBNS: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has named ex-RG Kar Medical College and Hospital principal Sandip Ghosh and four others in the chargesheet for the case over financial irregularities in the state-run institution in West Bengal.

Apart from Ghosh, former house staff member Ashish Pandey, proprietor of M/s Maa Tara Traders Biplab Singha, proprietor of M/s Hazra Medical Suman Hazra and additional security and key person of M/s Eshan Cafe Afsar Ali Khan have been named in the chargesheet.

The case was filed in accordance with the order of the Calcutta High Court.

The alleged financial fraud came to light in the wake of the rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee doctor at RG Kar in August.

The rape-murder, which had triggered widespread protests across the nation, brought the state administration under the scanner and allegedly exposed the fraudulent activities of Ghosh first brought to notice by the junior doctors in the college.

Ghosh, who was reportedly the most powerful person in the medical college and hospital, was also arrested in connection with the rape-murder case.

However, civic volunteer Sanjoy Roy, who was arrested by Kolkata Police in a quick time after the crime, is the only person so far named in the chargesheet in the rape-murder case.

The probe agency has shown Roy entered the trauma centre of RG Kar at 3:34 am on August 9, the night when the heinous crime was committed.

The CBI was handed over the case after the Calcutta High Court expressed dissatisfaction and pointed out several lapses in the investigation by the Kolkata Police.
