The former principal of Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital and the station house officer (SHO) who initially investigated the rape and murder of a trainee doctor have been arrested by the CBI for allegedly misleading investigators and trying to hide evidence.
With their actions, the former principal Sandip Ghosh and the police officer allegedly tried to sabotage the investigation into the rape and murder case, which had sparked outrage across the nation.
The arrests came hours after protesting doctors returned from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s house without meeting her after she denied their request to live-stream the meeting.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has been questioning Sandip Ghosh over alleged financial irregularities pertaining to the medical college. Ghosh and the senior cop – Abhijit Mondal – are also accused of delay in filing the FIR in the rape-murder case.
