The investigation into the brutal rape and murder of a post-graduate resident doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital has taken a dramatic turn, with former students alleging a sinister network of corruption and influence within the institution.
According to reports, former students have accused former principal Sandip Ghosh of running a ‘medical mafia raj’ where a section of students acted as his accomplices. These allegations paint a disturbing picture of a system where power and influence were allegedly used for personal gain, allegedly affecting the lives of students and compromising the integrity of the medical institution.
The accusations against Ghosh range from bio-waste trafficking to the sale of corpses, highlighting a deeply troubling pattern of alleged financial irregularities. Former students have claimed that even communicating with Ghosh required navigating the local political party’s student wing, further suggesting a concerning level of influence within the college.
In light of these serious allegations, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has stepped in to investigate the alleged financial irregularities. This development adds another layer of complexity to the already distressing case, raising crucial questions about the governance and accountability of the medical institution. The CBI investigation promises to shed light on the extent of the alleged corruption and its impact on the victims, students, and the entire medical community.
