Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, on Wednesday challenged the Calcutta High Court order transferring the corruption case against him to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
On August 23, the Calcutta High Court ordered the transfer of the probe into the alleged financial irregularities at RG Kar hospital from a state-constituted Special Investigation Team (SIT) to the CBI.
The CBI had arrested Ghosh along with three others in connection with the alleged financial irregularities at the government hospital whose administration is facing intense scrutiny after the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor there last month.
Ghosh served as principal of RG Kar Medical College from February 2021 to September 2023. He was transferred from RG Kar in October that year but inexplicably returned to that position within a month. He held his position at the hospital till the day the hospital doctor was found dead.
The officials said that the three others arrested along with Ghosh are Afsar Ali (44) – his security guard – and hospital vendors Biplav Singha (52) and Suman Hazara (46).
The doctor said that the ‘principles of natural justice’ were not applied in his case.
He also sought the expunging of ‘certain remarks’. The hearing has been set for Friday.
