Ghosh’s security personnel Afsar Ali, and contractors Biplab Sinha and Suman Hazra, have also been sent to judicial custody alongside him.
THE TRAGIC INCIDENT
A month ago, the body of a raped and murdered woman medic was found at RG Kar Medical College. The CBI is investigating possible links between Ghosh and the crime.
DESTRUCTION OF KEY EVIDENCE?
Ghosh allegedly ordered the partial demolition of a restroom near the crime scene on August 10, potentially destroying crucial evidence.
FINANCIAL IRREGULARITIES EXPOSED
Allegations of financial misconduct during Ghosh’s tenure surfaced, raising concerns about his involvement in corrupt practices within the hospital.
CBI TAKES OVER OF INVESTIGATION
On August 13, the Calcutta High Court handed the case over to the CBI, moving it away from the state’s SIT for a thorough investigation.
ONGOING INVESTIGATION
The CBI is continuing its probe into both the financial irregularities and the possible connection between Ghosh’s actions and the rape-murder case.
