Overview

  • Ghosh filed the case at Kolkata’s Bankshall/CJM court after a legal notice seeking an apology expired following a four-day deadline.
  • The victim’s father had alleged Ghosh visited the CBI’s CGO Complex office and paid to “settle” the investigation into the 2024 rape-murder.
  • Ghosh denies the allegation, says he sympathises with the family, and insists the claims must be proven in court.
  • The father calls the suit an attempt to harass and distract, vows to keep pursuing justice, and says the family will contest the case legally.
  • Background: Civic volunteer Sanjoy Roy was convicted in January; the CBI-led track and related appeals are ongoing, with High Court hearings expected in September.
