NEW DELHI: Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has ramped up its probe into the alleged rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata. On Sunday, CBI officials carried out extensive search operations at the residences and offices of former principal Sandip Ghosh, ex-MSVP Sanjay Vashisth, and 13 others across Kolkata.The agency is also investigating possible financial irregularities at the institute, particularly in the procurement of materials for patient care.
As part of the investigation, Sanjay Roy, the main accused in the rape and murder case, underwent a lie detection test at Presidency Jail, Kolkata. Two other individuals are also scheduled for similar tests at the CBI office later today. While the results cannot be used as trial evidence, they are expected to guide further investigative actions. On Saturday, four people, including Sandip Ghosh, were subjected to polygraph tests, with the CBI seeking court permission to test a total of seven individuals.
While the CBI Anti-Corruption Branch continued its investigation a CBI official when asked about evidence in the case said, “Bahut kuch hai” (There is a lot).
CBI registered an FIR against Dr Sandip Ghosh on Saturday, following the orders of the Calcutta High Court. The court’s single bench had instructed the CBI to investigate the alleged corruption at the medical college.
The CBI was given a deadline of three weeks by the Calcutta High Court to provide an update on the progress of the investigation. The report is expected to be submitted on September 17.
The Supreme Court, while hearing the suo motu case regarding the rape and murder of the trainee doctor, directed on Tuesday that the security of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata be transferred to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).
The incident, which occurred on August 9, involved the alleged rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. It led to the arrest of a Kolkata Police civic volunteer and sparked widespread protests by doctors and citizens. The Calcutta High Court subsequently directed the CBI to investigate both the murder and the financial irregularities at the institution.
