RG Kar Medical College and Hospital’s ex-principal Sandip Ghosh is in judicial custody after being accused of financial fraud. And now, adding to the list of things he has been charged with, a local news report of him is going viral. The report charged Ghosh with molesting a male nursing student in Hong Kong in 2017. The ex-principal has been in the news since the gruesome rape and murder of a trainee doctor who was on duty on August 9, 2024.
Sandip Ghosh Accused Of Molesting Male Nursing Student
According to this news report in Hong Kong’s news media South China Morning Post, a male nursing student accused the ex-principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital of patting his left buttock and trying to touch his private parts. This happened when the nursing student was changing his clothes in the hospital. Sandip Ghosh was there in Hong Kong at the time due to a clinical attachment program.
The student told the court that Sandip Ghosh touched him indecently and asked if he liked it. However, Ghosh denied this and instead said that he accidentally touched the student’s hip and that the incident was a misunderstanding. This alleged incident took place on April 8 at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Yau Ma Tei.
According to an India Today report citing sources in Kolkata, Sandip Ghosh mentioned in the Hong Kong news report is the same person who is currently in CBI custody in connection with financial irregularities at RG Kar College and Hospital, where a postgraduate doctor was brutally raped and killed last month.
Ghosh also allegedly ordered a renovation of the area around the crime scene a day after the victim’s body was discovered, resulting in the possible destruction of evidence. In a parallel investigation by the Enforcement Directorate, Ghosh has been accused of financial irregularities at the college during his term as principal, including allegedly siphoning off monies.
