Kolkata: After completion of 8-day Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) custody, the central probe agency on Tuesday reportedly didn’t plead for further custody of former RG Kar Medical College Principal Sandip Ghosh and three others in the financial irregularities case of the hospital, where a 31-year-old PGT doctor was brutally raped and killed last month, triggering nationwide protests.

Ghosh was produced before a special CBI court on the premises of Alipore Judges Court. However, Ghosh and the other accused—Biplab Singha, Suman Hazra and Afsar Ali – in the graft case were sent to judicial custody at Presidency Correctional Home till September 23, sources said.

Meanwhile, Ghosh faced protests by female lawyers on the court premises while being escorted out of the court. Reports stated that an unidentified man threw slippers at Ghosh while the female lawyers called him ‘a thief.’ He was detained in the court room for about 45 minutes due to the agitation.

Earlier, the CBI had told the special court that former RG Kar Medical College principal Dr Sandip Ghosh siphoned funds and made 84 illegal appointments in 2022 and 2023.

Sexual harassment charge against Sandip Ghosh

Ghosh was arrested by the CBI on September 2 on grounds of corruption and financial irregularities. Meanwhile, an old report of South China Morning Post has gone now viral on social media. The report alleged that a sexual harassment allegation was levelled against Sandip Ghosh by a Hong Kong nursing student in 2017. Ghosh, who was then a faculty of Murshidabad College, had gone to Hong Kong to participate in a clinical attachment programme.
