Sandip Ghosh, ex-principal of Kolkata hospital, arrested by CBI

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday arrested Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of government-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital where a 31-year-old trainee doctor was raped and murdered last month.According to officials, Ghosh and three others were arrested by the central probe agency for his alleged involvement in the financial irregularities in RG Kar hospital. Three others who were arrested along with Ghosh were Biplav Singha, Suman Hazra and Afsar Ali Khan.
As Principal of the RG Kar Medical College, where the woman doctor's body was discovered on the morning of August 9, the role of Sandip Ghosh has been questioned by many. Even the Supreme Court had questioned why he, the head of the institution, had not lodged a First Information Report immediately. His transfer to another hospital hours after he resigned his post under the pressure of public opinion, had caused the second shockwave, where the role of the state government had also raised eyebrows. While coming down heavily on the government, the Calcutta High Court had suggested that instead of taking up the post, Sandip Ghosh go on a long leave. 
The CBI has slapped criminal conspiracy, cheating, and dishonesty along with Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act in connection with the financial misconduct at RG Kar Medical College. The cases account for cognisable offences and are non-bailable in nature.Sandip Ghosh has already been suspended by the Indian Medical Association. His appointment to premier Calcutta National Medical College also backfired, with the students locking him out of the Principal's office long before the Supreme Court order.
