Former principal of R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital Dr Sandip Ghosh appeared before the Central Bureau of Investigation Saturday for questioning for the second consecutive day in connection with the rape and murder of a doctor.
Further arrested on Friday, the agency escorted the former hospital principal for questioning which continued till 3 a.m Saturday.
“Mr. Ghosh was made to sit in a room at the CBI’s city office here at the CGO Complex till 9.30 p.m. after which the grilling session started,” an officer said.
Hours later, Mr. Ghosh reached the CBI office for the second time a little before 10.30 am for his second round of examination.
“He was asked during the first round of questioning about his first reaction after getting to know of the death of the doctor he had told to convey it first to the family, about how and who contacted the police,” an officer said.
“However, some of the replies were very confusing. He was grilled till early Saturday, but then allowed to leave for home,” the officer told PTI.
Mr. Ghosh was again summoned by officers for questioning on the morning of Saturday, August 17, 2014, following which he arrived at the CBI office.
“Mr. Ghosh was also asked about the weekly roster where the victim was seen to be put on duty for grueling 36 hours or at times even 48 hours,” he said.
The principal who was there earlier had resigned from the post two days after the body was discovered. He was apprehending an attack and his advocate had knocked on the doors of the Calcutta High Court for security protection. The high court courted him back to the single bench.
The body of the post-graduate trainee doctor was found in the seminar room of R.G. Kar Hospital on August 9. Police arrested a civic volunteer attached to a TMC bastion in this connection on Thursday.
