Dr. Sandip Ghosh, former principal of RG Kar Medical College, is accused of attempting to downplay a doctor’s rape and murder as suicide, leading to evidence destruction. He and police officer Abhijit Mondal face charges of evidence tampering. The CBI alleges mishandling of the case and granted custody for further proceedings.
Yesterday, On 14th September, The CBI arrested the former principal of Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Sandip Ghosh, and police officer Abhijit Mondal for attempting to destroy evidence in a high-profile rape and murder case. The incident sparked public outrage and led to the CBI taking over the investigation. The Chief Minister declined the protesting doctors’ request for live-streaming their meeting.
CJI Chandrachud Today (Sept 6) dismissed the plea of Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College, challenging a Calcutta High Court order. Ghosh had sought to intervene in a public interest litigation (PIL) that alleges financial irregularities at the college during his tenure. The CJI ruled that, as an accused individual, Ghosh does not have the legal standing to join the PIL, particularly because the High Court is already supervising the investigation into the allegations.
