New Delhi: The former principal of Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Sandip Ghosh was accused of molesting a male nursing student in Hong Kong in 2017. A magistrate’s court, however, accepted Ghosh’s explanation and his recurrent shoulder dislocation condition to clear him in the case.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is probing Ghosh for corruption following the rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee doctor.

In the 2017 case in Hong Kong, a male nursing student alleged that Sandip Ghosh patted his buttock and tried to touch his genitals in the changing room, India Today reported quoting The South China Morning Post.

Some doctors in Kolkata confirmed to India Today TV that the Sandip Ghosh accused in Hong Kong for molesting the male nursing student was the same person who is now in CBI custody after the rape-murder at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

Ghosh, then 45-year-old, was in Hong Kong as part of a clinical attachment programme at the hospital, said the report.

On April 8, 2017, at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong’s Kowloon, a student nurse accused Sandip Ghosh, an orthopaedic doctor, of indecent assault, reported the South China Morning Post in 2017.

The nurse testified that Ghosh asked him, “Do you like it?” after making the inappropriate physical contact, according to the Hong Kong-based newspaper.

He was then the chief physician of the Orthopedic Department of Murshidabad Medical College, said a report on Bengali news portal, Ei Samay, according to India Today. Ghosh was made the Principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in 2018.

However, Sandip Ghosh denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty in court. He claimed that the incident was a misunderstanding.

According to Ghosh, he was trying to demonstrate how to fix a dislocated shoulder by pulling on the nurse’s arm and had accidentally touched the nurse’s hip. He stated that his words were misinterpreted due to his accent and that he had said, “Do it like this,” not “Do you like it?”
