Kolkata, Nov 29 (UNI) The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday submitted its first charge sheet in a court of law in the alleged RG Kar Medical College and Hospital financial scandal, naming five persons including its former principal Sandip Ghosh.
Others named in the charge sheet are a medic and union leader Ashish Panday, two vendors and a former private security guard of Ghosh, court sources said.
The Calcutta High Court on August 23 asked the CBI to probe into the alleged financial scam in the city's one of the premier century-old hospitals, where a 31-year-old woman resident medic was allegedly raped and murdered on August.9, triggering shock and anger not only in the country but also beyond India's borders as doctors went on sustained protests.
Sources said the CBI submitted a 1000-page chargesheet in the Sealdah Sessions court after taking the statements of about 100 witnesses, sources added.
A senior government medic, Akhtar Ali, had filed a case and sought both CBI and ED probe into the alleged money laundering in purchasing medical equipment of the hospital during the tenure of Sandip Ghosh, who has been arrested in the case.
Besides Ghosh and Panday, the CBI also named two vendors Biplab Singha and Suman Hazra and Ghosh's former security man Afsar Ali.
The CBI is also probing the medic's murder and has already filed a charge sheet naming former Civic Volunteer Sanjay Roy in the Sealdah trial court. UNI PC SSP
