    What's the story

    The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has initiated a series of raids at the residence of Dr. Sandip Ghosh, former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.

    This action is part of an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption charges against Ghosh.

    In addition to his residence, the CBI is also conducting searches at 14 other locations connected to this case.

    CBI takes over corruption probe from SIT

    The raids came a day after the probe agency filed a case against Ghosh, alleging financial irregularities at the Kolkata hospital, where a trainee doctor was raped and murdered on August 9.

    The Calcutta High Court had ordered a CBI probe based on a plea by Akhtar Ali, the former Deputy Superintendent of the hospital.

    Ali had requested an Enforcement Directorate (ED) probe into alleged financial misconduct at the institution during Ghosh's tenure.

    Allegations

    Former principal accused of illegal activities

    In his plea, Ali accused Ghosh of unauthorized use of unclaimed bodies, illicit sale of biomedical waste, and approving tenders in exchange for kickbacks from medical suppliers.

    Additionally, Ali alleges that students were coerced into paying between ₹5-8 lakh to pass exams under Ghosh's administration at the medical college.

    According to Ali, he lodged a written complaint at the state vigilance commission in July 2023, but no action was taken.
