The State Health Department issued the suspension order on Friday, stating that the former deputy superintendent's name surfaced during a CBI probe, which was carried out under the directions of the Calcutta High Court.

According to the order, the former superintendent, when he was posted at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, allegedly received undue favours such as air tickets from two private firms and accepted a total of Rs 2.89 lakh from two other companies in return for awarding them work contracts at the hospital.
After his tenure at RG Kar, he was transferred first to Murshidabad Medical College and later to Kaliaganj Sub-divisional Hospital. He had submitted his resignation around a year ago, but it was not accepted pending a probe into his role, as reported by TOI.
Medical Dialogues in October 2025 reported that the former deputy superintendent of the state-run RG Kar Medical College & Hospital in Kolkata and a key whistleblower in the financial irregularities case at the medical institute in the state tendered his resignation. It was based on his petition that the Calcutta High Court last year directed a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe in the multi-crore R.G. Kar financial irregularities case. CBI sleuths arrested former and controversial principal of R.G. Kar, Sandip Ghosh, and others in connection with financial irregularities, all of whom are in judicial custody
The Anti-Corruption Branch of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in 2024 arrested Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College, along with three others, in connection with alleged corruption and financial misconduct at the institution. Ghosh was being investigated for financial irregularities at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital following a directive from a Calcutta High Court bench that ordered the CBI to probe the matter.
