Former principal of R G Kar Medical College and Hospital Dr Sandip Ghosh was questioned by the CBI for the third consecutive day on Sunday in connection with the alleged rape and murder of a junior doctor on the hospital premises on August 9.
So far, Ghosh has been questioned for over 30 hours in the past three days, with the central agency officials seeking details of his phone calls before and after the incident to find out if there was any conspiracy, sources said.
The central agency is also scrutinising the circumstances surrounding the three-hour delay in informing the junior doctor’s family after she was found dead inside the seminar hall of the hospital, CBI officials said.
“We are also trying to understand the circumstances surrounding the hospital authorities’ decision to initiate renovation work in the chest medicine department, which is close to the scene of the crime and cross-referencing Dr Ghosh’s statements with accounts from other doctors and interns present at the time of the incident,” a CBI official told The Indian Express.
