Calcutta High Court Declines To Hear Former RG Kar Principal Sandip Ghosh's Plea For Bail, Directs Him To Approach Trial Court

The Calcutta High Court has declined to hear a plea for bail moved by former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital Sandip Ghosh, who has been arrested by the CBI in connection with alleged financial irregularities at the college, as well as the rape and murder of a trainee doctor on the college campus.

A single bench of Justice Tirthankar Ghosh directed Ghosh to approach the trial court seeking bail.

Notably, RG Kar has been in the news ever since a trainee doctor was brutally raped and murdered on campus at the end of her night duty. Nation-wide protests broke out, leading to the case being handed over to the CBI, and the Supreme Court taking suo moto cognizance of the same.

Ghosh, was initially called in for questioning by the CBI, who later arrested him on charges of financial irregularities at the hospital, followed by his alleged role in the aftermath of the brutal rape and murder of the trainee doctor.
