The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has summoned former principal Sandip Ghosh for another round of polygraph tests in connection with the brutal rape and murder of a postgraduate medico at RG Kar Medical College Hospital in Kolkata. The investigation, which was initiated after a single bench of the Calcutta High Court ordered the CBI to probe the alleged corruption at the medical college, has now extended to 14 other locations in the city. The incident has also prompted the Supreme Court to order the security of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital to be handed over to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).
The Supreme Court, while hearing the Kolkata doctor rape-murder case, criticized the West Bengal government and questioned the timing of the registration of the unnatural death case and postmortem. The court urged the striking doctors to return to work and assured no action would be taken against them. The CBI, which is now handling the case, has submitted a 3D scan of the crime scene and CCTV footage showing the accused's movements. The court also questioned the time gap between the registration of the unnatural death case and the FIR, calling it "disturbing."
