NEW DELHI: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Wednesday suspended the membership of Dr Sandip Ghosh, who is the ex-principal of Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital, where a trainee doctor was raped before being brutally killed.
The disciplinary committee duly constituted by the National President Dr RV Asokan, IMA HQs has unanimously decided to suspend the membership of Dr Sandip Ghosh, vice president, IMA Calcutta Branch, reported news agency ANI.
This comes days after the CBI conducted a polygraph test on Sandip Ghosh as part of its investigation into the rape-murder of a postgraduate resident doctor at the hospital on August 9.
A team of experts from New Delhi reached Kolkata to conduct the procedure, also known as lie detector tests, after receiving court approval Friday.
A civic volunteer who accompanied Roy to two neighbourhoods in the city before the alleged crime said CBI has called him in for the polygraph test.
On the other hand, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has launched a money laundering probe against Sandip Ghosh for alleged bribery and irregularities at a government hospital since 2021.
ED has registered its probe under PMLA based on the FIRs registered by Kolkata Police and CBI, which was later roped in by Calcutta HC following allegations of botch up of the probe by the city police.
CBI had earlier carried out searches at multiple locations in Kolkata linked to Ghosh and some contractors who were awarded works at the hospital.
The agency has registered two cases, one to probe the rape-murder of the doctor and another under the Prevention of Corruption Act to probe financial irregularities in the hospital. Ghosh and his associates will be probed for all contracts awarded to private entities since 2021.
