Former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital Sandip Ghosh was on Tuesday sent to judicial custody till September 23 by a special CBI court in the financial irregularities case.
The court also sent his security personnel Afsar Ali and two alleged associates, contractors Vendors Biplab Sinha and Suman Hazra, to judicial custody till September 23.
The CBI told the court that it would seek their custody again if required.
Since the time Ghosh was brought inside the court premises, he had to face strong protests from women lawyers.
They demanded death penalty for former RG Kar principal.
The women lawyers protested by closing the two doors of the assembly hall. This kind of situation was never seen before in Alipore court.
Sloganeering escalated to an extent that Ghosh was stuck in the protest for about 1 hour. At the end, the judge came down from the chair to handle the situation.
He tried to pacify the lawyers. And asked them to stage protest outside the court room.
The judge commented that courtroom is not a place to protest.
Ghosh was arrested by the CBI on charges of financial irregularities on September 2 amid protests over the rape and murder of the doctor at the RG Kar MCH.
On September 3, the court had sent him to eight days in CBI custody.
