Sandeep Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College, Kolkata, is in dire straits. CBI has already arrested Sandeep Ghosh in a corruption case. Now the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has also started tightening the noose on him. Today, Friday, ED conducted raids at 5 to 6 locations in Kolkata. The raids included the homes of Sandeep Ghosh and his close relatives, including the home of Prasoon Chatterjee, a data entry operator at RG Kar Hospital, and the home of an old close associate of Sandeep Ghosh. The investigation was conducted in the case of corruption in the college. The CBI investigation has reached its final stage. The DNA report has already reached the CBI, which has been sent to AIIMS for final opinion. A team of AIIMS doctors will scrutinize the DNA report and the final report will be sent to the CBI soon. Sources said the CBI will take up the investigation of the case after its final opinion on the AIIMS DNA report. The CBI has recorded the statement of more than 100 people in this case so far. The CBI also conducted polygraph tests on more than 10 people to ensure that no part of the crime in the charge sheet was incomplete. At the same time, the DNA of the deceased and the DNA of the accused have been matched. Its detailed report may take some time. The CBI investigation revealed that Sanjay Roy was the only accused. CBI has enough evidence against him. The CBI may soon file a charge sheet against him. At the initial stage of the incident, there are suspicions that some others may be involved in the incident.
