Sandeep Dhand Ludhiana
Sandeep Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, was sent to judicial custody until September 23 by a special CBI court today. The court’s decision follows allegations of financial irregularities linked to his tenure. Alongside Ghosh, his security guard, Officer Ali, and two contractors, Vander Viplab Sinha and Suman Hajra, have also been remanded to judicial custody until the same date.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) presented evidence suggesting financial misconduct and corruption. The agency plans to request Ghosh’s custody again if further investigation necessitates it. The court’s ruling marks a significant step in the ongoing probe into financial malpractices within the medical institution. The case has attracted attention due to the high profile of the individuals involved and the potential impact on the institution’s reputation. The judicial custody ensures that the accused remain in legal custody while the investigation continues.
