September 3, 2024: Former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital Dr Sandip Ghosh was sent to 8-day CBI custody, a day after his arrest in connection with alleged financial misconduct at the state-run facility.

The CBI had arrested Ghosh and three others, identified as Biplav Singha, Suman Hazra and Afsar Ali Khan, in connection with the case. A special CBI court in Kolkata on Tuesday sent all four accused to CBI custody for eight days. The four accused will be produced before the court again on September 10.

The CBI had requested 10 days of custody of all the accused; however, the court granted custody for only eight days.

The court also rejected a bail plea, submitted by one of the accused, Afsar Ali Khan, while the other three arrested did not seek bail.
