November 29, 2024

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday filed the first chargesheet against the accused persons in the alleged RG Kar financial irregularities case.

The accused named in the chargesheet are: Dr. Sandip Ghosh, the then Principal, RG Kar Medical College & Hospital, Kolkata; Dr. Ashish Kumar Pandey, the then House Staff of RG Kar Medical College & Hospital; Biplab Singha, Proprietor of M/s Maa Tara Traders; Suman Hazra, Proprietor of M/s Hazra Medical; and Afsar Ali Khan, Additional Security and Key person of M/s Eshan Cafe.

This case was registered in compliance to the directions of the High Court at Calcutta relating to financial irregularities in RG Kar Hospital.

Besides the financial irregularities case, the CBI is also probing Ghosh and former SHO of Tala Police Station Abhijit Mondal in connection with the ghastly rape and murder of a junior woman doctor of R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in August this year.

The main charges against Ghosh and Mondal in this case are tampering with the evidence and misleading the investigation while the initial probe was being carried out by Kolkata Police before the matter was handed over to CBI.
