The medical registration of Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College was suspended on 19th September amid the ongoing CBI investigation. Earlier, the West Bengal Medical Council had issued a notice, demanding an explanation from the accused doctor as to why his medical registration had not been nullified. Ghosh’s licence was nullified under several provisions of the Bengal Medical Act. Meanwhile, the CBI submission report related to the RG Kar College rape and murder case has revealed that Sandip Ghosh was absent from the crime scene.
In its report, the CBI submitted before the court alleged that Sandip Ghosh failed to monitor the situation during the incident. Ghosh arrived at the hospital after the local police had arrived. Moreover, Ghosh spoke various times to Tala Police Station in-charge Abhijit Mandal before arriving, according to the media reports. Ghosh was in touch with Abhijit Mondal since 10.03 am on the 9th of August when the trainee doctor’s semi-naked body was found inside the seminar hall. He was in contact with others. The reports of CBI suggests that Sandip Ghosh was taking ‘orders’ from ‘someone’. The CBI report confirmed that the crime scene was interfering with causing complications in the investigation. Notably, Ghosh was arrested on 14th September for allegedly interfering with evidence.
Ghosh had also tried to mislead the investigation and deceive the CBI. He also did not intend to get an FIR filed in the RG Kar College doctor’s rape and murder case even as he was in consultation with a lawyer. Sandip Ghosh was subjected to layered voice analysis (LVA) and polygraph tests, during the interrogation. The CBI remand note said, ‘As per the report of CFSL (forensic report), his version has been found deceptive on certain important issues relating to this case’.
The Supreme Bench chaired by CJI DY Chandrachud said after reviewing the CBI’s latest status report that disclosing the line of investigation would compromise the probe, however, it opined that the CBI findings are disturbing.
