CBI investigates Sandip Ghosh’s phone calls after recovery of doctor’s body in RG Kar Medical College case

CBI probes former Principal Dr. Sandip Ghosh’s August 9 calls

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is probing the rape and murder of a woman doctor at RG Kar Medical College & Hospital, is now scrutinizing the mobile phone calls made by former principal Dr. Sandip Ghosh on the morning of August 9. This follows the discovery of the victim’s body in a seminar room.

Sources indicate that the CBI is examining Ghosh’s calls to determine the nature of conversations he had immediately after the body was found. Investigators are particularly interested in whether Ghosh communicated any information or instructions related to the incident.

In addition to tracking these calls, the CBI has already conducted a polygraph test on Dr. Ghosh as part of the ongoing investigation.

The central probe agency has also sought the permission of a lower court in Kolkata to conduct the same test on Anup Halder, an assistant sub-inspector of Kolkata Police and a close associate of the sole accused in the case, Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer attached to the state police.

Sources said that preliminary investigation through interrogation of different persons has revealed that the woman doctor was quite popular among her fellow junior doctors, medical students, and even some of the supporting medical staff. The victim, however, was not in the good books of a section of her seniors in the hospital, especially those who are the confidants of Ghosh.

The CBI is also conducting a parallel probe on the financial irregularities at RG Kar when Dr Ghosh was at the helm. Now the sleuths of the two investigating teams of CBI conducting parallel probes are trying to figure out whether there are links between the two cases.
