A special CBI court in Alipore on Tuesday remanded former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital Dr Sandip Ghosh and three others to judicial custody till September 23. Dr Ghosh resigned as principal after the gruesome rape and murder of a trainee woman doctor in the hospital premises.
Last week, Ghosh was sent to 8-day police custody on September 6.
On September 2, Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) Anti-Corruption Branch arrested Dr Ghosh, along with three others, over alleged corruption and financial misconduct at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
Dr Ghosh, along with two vendors, Biplav Singha, Suman Hazar, and the additional security to Dr Ghosh, Afsar Ali were arrested by the CBI.
The ex-principle is under investigation for alleged corruption and financial irregularities at the college and hospital, following a directive from a single bench of the Calcutta High Court, which directed the CBI to probe the matter.
On August 24, following the orders of the Calcutta High Court, an official FIR was registered by the CBI against Ghosh on the alleged corruption case.
