Kolkata, November 10, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Former RG Kar Medical College and Hospital principal Sandip Ghosh appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) at its Salt Lake office in Kolkata on Tuesday, several hours after his scheduled time, for questioning in the alleged multi-crore financial irregularities case.
Ghosh arrived shortly before 1.30 p.m. and went inside the agency’s office to face questioning. He had been summoned to appear at 11 a.m., but his counsel reached the office at the scheduled time. Ghosh eventually turned up hours later.
The ED had earlier summoned him for questioning on November 4, but he did not appear and instead sought additional time from the agency.
The ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) are conducting parallel investigations into alleged financial irregularities at the state-run medical college. The CBI arrested Ghosh in 2024 in connection with the case. He was initially placed in CBI custody and later remanded to judicial custody. The Supreme Court granted him bail on October 15 this year.
The alleged financial irregularities, involving several crores of rupees, came to light after the rape and murder of a junior woman doctor on the hospital premises in August 2024, an incident that triggered widespread protests and public outrage.
Investigators were examining allegations that government funds from the hospital’s bank account had been illegally transferred to accounts of vendors and contractors allegedly close to Ghosh. The CBI’s Kolkata Anti-Corruption Branch registered a case on August 24, 2024, following the allegations.
The ED’s questioning of Ghosh is part of its investigation into the alleged financial irregularities.
