Today is the fifth day that the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Sandip Ghosh, is being grilled by the CBI.
The agency has, so far, questioned over 30 people, including doctors, PG students, HoDs, and staff members.
Security guards, ward boys and nurses were summoned on Friday night.
Additionally, it has been learnt that someone from the Kolkata Police had dialled (data call) the erstwhile principal of RG Kar on the night when the crime took place.
This shocking revelation has been made by the CBI officials, say sources.
Sources in the CBI have also claimed that the officials have confirmed that Ghosh deleted that particular call record and other relevant details from his phone.
Ghosh is being interrogated by the CBI repeatedly as he has not been able to furnish any justification for deleting information from the phone.
Additionally, the Central Bureau of Investigation is also looking into allegations by the victim’s family that the victim was under pressure at RG Kar.
The CBI wants Ghosh to also answer if he was aware of why the victim was feeling pressured and if there was any complaint made to the college authorities regarding the same.
Security for doctors and patients, use of the seminar hall — where the crime happened — and overall management of the hospital are all queries that the CBI team is seeking answers to.
Ghosh’s call records and chat details are being investigated.
On Monday, the CBI team asked Ghosh to specify his role after getting the news of the doctor’s death, who he had contacted thereafter and why he made the parents wait for nearly three hours before getting to see her body, an agency official said.
The former principal was also questioned on who had ordered renovation of rooms adjacent to the seminar hall, after the postgraduate trainee’s body was found there on August 9.
The Kolkata Police have registered a corruption case against Sandip Ghosh, the former Principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, where the body of a 31-year-old post-graduate trainee doctor was found after she was raped and murdered.
The state police is probing financial irregularities at the state-run hospital, a matter that has been under scrutiny since a complaint was lodged in June.
The West Bengal government escalated matters by forming a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to delve into the allegations that have plagued RG Kar Medical College and Hospital since 2021.
While the conduct of the former principal remains in question, as far as the RG Kar’s case is concerned we are yet to know who from the Kolkata Police dialled Ghosh on the night of the crime.
And to what extent this call is associated with the doctor’s rape and murder case.
Just like this question there are several queries, which require answers in order to get justice for the RG Kar victim.
