On a Sunday morning, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) took action as they launched search operations in and around Kolkata. Their target was former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Sandip Ghosh, along with ex-MSVP Sanjay Vashisth and 13 others. The investigation was in connection with reported financial irregularities at the institute.
Not only were the residences and offices of the accused being searched, but also those who were involved in supplying materials for patient care. As of 8 am, at least seven officers from the anti-corruption unit were already questioning Ghosh at his residence in Beliaghata. Meanwhile, Vashisth and another professor from the forensic department were being grilled by other officers.
Accompanied by a large team of central forces, the CBI arrived at Ghosh's residence at 6 am, but had to wait for an hour and a half before they were allowed in. The search also extended to Ghosh's office at the hospital and even the canteen in the academic building.
The reason for the CBI's involvement in this case was due to a tragic incident that occurred on August 9. A postgraduate trainee woman doctor was allegedly raped and murdered in the seminar hall of the hospital. Following this, a Kolkata Police civic volunteer was arrested. The horrific crime sparked nationwide protests by doctors and citizens, prompting the Calcutta High Court to direct the CBI to investigate the murder as well as the reported financial irregularities.
As the CBI continues their search and investigation, the public eagerly awaits the outcome and justice for the victim.
