It’s been almost a month since the heinous Kolkata doctor rape-murder incident, where a female trainee PG doctor was raped and murdered by a civic volunteer. The case which was handed over to the CBI, has yet to reach a decision point regarding the accused. However, it was found that the Ex principal of RG Kar Hospital was involved in numerous illegal activities such as selling unclaimed dead bodies, biological waste and more. Sandip Ghosh was recently arrested for these crimes by the CBI. The ex-principal later challenged the HC order which was dismissed by the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court, today on September 6, 2024, dismissed a plea by Sandip Ghosh wherein he challenged the Kolkata High Court’s order of transferring to the CBI the investigation of alleged financial irregularities by him. CJI DY Chandrachud with Justice JB Pardiwala, Manoj Misra stated that an accused does not have the locus standi or the right to be heard in a plea seeking the transfer of investigation. Sandip Ghosh was not the only one arrested by the CBI, infact the ED detained Prashun Chatterjee who is a close aide of Sandip Ghosh, hailing from Subhashgram in Kolkata.
