CBI grills ex-RG Kar hospital principal for 4th consecutive day in Kolkata medic’s rape-murder

Kolkata, Aug 19: CBI officers questioned the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Sandip Ghosh, for the fourth consecutive day on Monday in connection with its probe into the alleged rape and murder of a doctor at the health facility.

Ghosh, who reached the CBI’s city office at CGO Complex in the morning, was grilled till late in the evening, an official said.

Among other queries, he was asked to specify his role after getting the news of the death of the doctor, who he had contacted thereafter and why he made the parents wait for nearly three hours before getting to see her body, the official said.

The former principal was also questioned on who had ordered renovation of rooms adjacent to the seminar hall, after the postgraduate trainee’s body was found there on August 9, he said.

Ghosh, who had resigned from the post on August 11, has been grilled for several hours in the last three days by officers of the central probe agency.

Some of his version does not match with that of the others who are being interrogated in the case, the official said.

The call records and his chat details are also being investigated.

Later in the evening, a team of CBI officers visited the RG Kar hospital to take a closer look at its Trauma Care Unit, and also collected samples.

CBI sleuths also grilled arrested accused Sanjay Roy on Monday, as the probe agency tries to ascertain whether he was alone while allegedly committing the crime.

The investigators also went to the Kolkata Police’s headquarters at Lalbazar and spoke to officers who were part of the investigation when they were probing the matter, the official said.

Meanwhile, a local court here on Monday granted CBI permission to conduct a polygraph test on Roy.

The CBI is yet to schedule a date for the test, another official told PTI.

As per norms, the accused has to be brought before a magistrate, who will ask the person if he agrees to a polygraph test, the official added. (PTI)
