Ex-principal Sandip Ghosh helped two cartels procure hospital contracts: CBI chargesheet
The Hindu
Former Kolkata college principal Sandip Ghosh allegedly helped cartels procure hospital contracts, facing charges for financial irregularities and misconduct.
“Former principal of Kolkata’s R.G. Kar College and Hospital Sandip Ghosh allegedly helped two cartels procure hospital contracts,” the agency has said in its recently filed chargesheet.
The special court has taken the chargesheet on record, but it is yet to take cognisance because the West Bengal government has not provided sanction to prosecute Mr. Ghosh and other accused.
Mr. Ghosh had resigned as the principal of the state-run institute on August 12 in the aftermath of the rape and murder of a trainee doctor on its premises.
The CBI has named Mr. Ghosh, former House Staff of the medical college Ashish Kumar Pandey, and businessmen Biplab Singha of Maa Tara Traders, Suman Hazra of Hazra Medical and Afsar Ali Khan of Eshan Cafe, in the charge sheet.
"This case was registered in compliance with the directions of Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta relating to financial irregularities in RG Kar Medical College & Hospital at Kolkata," the CBI Spokesperson said.
The CBI has alleged that Mr. Ghosh and Mr. Pandey appointed several doctors as house staff in violation of the rules, they said.
Mr. Ghosh helped two cartels — one run by Singha and Hazra and the other by Khan — in procuring several contracts of the hospital, the CBI has alleged in its chargesheet filed before a Special CBI court in Alipore.
