CBI Charges Sandip Ghosh and Four Others in RG Kar Hospital Corruption Case

The chargesheet details financial irregularities during Ghosh's tenure, but court acceptance is delayed due to missing state approval.

  • The CBI has filed a chargesheet accusing former RG Kar Medical College principal Sandip Ghosh and four others of financial irregularities over a three-year period.
  • The chargesheet includes allegations of rigged tenders for medical equipment purchases and names vendors and hospital staff as co-accused.
  • Court approval of the chargesheet is pending due to the absence of required state government authorization for charges against state employees.
  • The investigation stems from Calcutta High Court directives following the rape and murder of a junior doctor and broader corruption allegations at the hospital.
  • Sandip Ghosh is also under investigation by the Enforcement Directorate for money laundering and his medical registration has been revoked.
