Kolkata Doctor Rape-Murder: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has suspended the membership of Dr Sandip Ghosh, who was serving as the principal of Kolkata's state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital (RGKMCH) at the time of the alleged rape and murder of a female trainee doctor at the institute earlier this month.

He stepped down from the post after the victim's body was found inside the hospital's seminar room. "The disciplinary committee duly constituted by the National President Dr RV Asokan, IMA HQs has unanimously decided to suspend the membership of Dr Sandip Ghosh, Vice President, IMA Calcutta Branch," the IMA said in a statement on Wednesday.

 

RG KAR CASE: CBI SLUETHS TRACKING GHOSH'S PHONE CALLS 

Dr Sandip Ghosh is under the CBI's scanner for any possible involvement in the crime at RGKMCH. A polygraph test has already been conducted on him by the probe agency. Last week, the CBI also initiated an anti-corruption probe against Ghosh over alleged financial irregularities at RGKMCH, following an order from the Calcutta High Court.

CBI investigators have started efforts to track the mobile phone calls made by Ghosh in the immediate aftermath of the discovery of the woman's body in the early morning hours of August 9, news agency IANS reported on Wednesday.

Sources cited by IANS said that by tracking the phone calls made or received by Ghosh then, the investigating officials are trying to figure out what exactly transpired during the course of conversation during those calls.
