‘Alcohol supplied to students, money stolen’: Former deputy SP of RG Kar speaks about former director Sandip Ghosh

Speaking about the former director, Professor Dr Sandip Ghosh, RG Kar’s former deputy director Akhtar Ali said that Ghosh was a very corrupt person and resembled a “mafia”.

DySP Ali further said, “He is a very corrupt person. He failed students, he got 20% commission on tenders and he looted money from every work done in RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.”

He noted that Ghosh used to serve alcohol to students in his guesthouse. “He was like a mafia person. He had a lot of security and was very powerful. I complained against him in 2023… his dismissal was a joke, he was appointed principal of National Medical College within 8 hours.”

The Calcutta High Court had earlier directed former principal of RG Kar Medical College, Sandip Ghosh, to file a leave petition. The order followed protests triggered by the hasty appointment of Ghosh as principal of Calcutta National Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, immediately after he resigned from RG Kar Medical College.

Ghosh resigned from RG Kar on Monday, alleging that he was being defamed on social media in connection with the rape and murder of a junior doctor at the hospital.

Meanwhile, the West Bengal police brought Sanjoy Roy, the alleged perpetrator of the rape and murder of a postgraduate medical student, to the Central Government Offices (CGO) Complex in Kolkata. Following an order from the Calcutta High Court, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) took over the case and sent a specialized medical and forensic team from Delhi. CBI members from Delhi also arrived at the CGO Complex to assist in the investigation.

Earlier on Tuesday, the West Bengal Doctors’ Forum alerted the CBI alleging tampering of evidence due to construction work near the spot where the body of a woman doctor was found in a Kolkata hospital.

“We have come across reports of sudden civil reconstruction efforts at and around the crime scene at the same facility. We are deeply concerned about the motive behind such an effort and believe it could hamper the investigation by tampering with important evidence,” said the letter, signed by Dr Koushik Chaki and Dr Sanjoy Holme Chowdhury.

“We have reported the same to the Secretary of State for Health. We request that you investigate the matter with the utmost care and due respect to ensure justice for the murdered female doctor,” the message said.
