Kolkata Doctor Murder CBI: The CBI is investigating the rape and murder case of a female doctor of Kolkata’s medical college. In this connection, the CBI is questioning the former principal of the medical college and hospital, Sandeep Ghosh, through a government RG. The CBI is collecting information about the former principal’s ‘call details’ and ‘chats’. An official of the investigating agency said that Ghosh appeared before the CBI officials for the third consecutive day on Sunday. During this, he has been asked to provide information about the phone calls made before and after the incident in the hospital. He said that the officials are considering contacting the mobile phone service provider to obtain information about Ghosh’s ‘call details’ and data usage.
The CBI had questioned Ghosh for nearly 13 hours till late Saturday night. Ghosh again reached the CBI office at CGO Complex in Salt Lake at 11 am on Sunday. The CBI official said that we have a long list of questions to ask him. He said that Ghosh has been asked to explain his role after getting the news of the doctor’s death, whom did he contact and why did he make the (victim’s) parents wait for about three hours. According to the official, the former principal was also asked who ordered the repair of the rooms near the seminar hall of the hospital’s emergency building after the incident.
The CBI official said that we are trying to find out whether there was a conspiracy behind the crime or it was planned in advance. What was the principal doing and whether he is involved in the incident in any way. According to the CBI official, Ghosh’s answers will be matched with the statements of other doctors and trainees who were on duty in the Chest Medicine Department on the night of the incident. The CBI has so far questioned more than 20 people, including several Kolkata Police officials, in connection with its investigation. Ghosh refused to answer media questions while leaving the CBI office at CGO Complex in Salt Lake late Sunday night.
CBI officials first questioned Ghosh on Friday. After this, he was called for questioning on Saturday as well. Ghosh resigned from the post of principal two days after the body of the female doctor was found on August 9. He had expressed fear of attack on himself, after which his lawyer had sought protection from the Calcutta High Court. The court had directed him to approach the single bench.
