WB Medical Council Suspends Santanu Sen's Registration
Kolkata: The West Bengal Medical Council on Thursday suspended Former TMC Rajya Sabha MP and eminent doctor Santanu Sen for allegedly making unsubstantiated claims about possessing a foreign medical degree during practice, a senior official said.
Sen had been removed from the council as a nominated member last year after openly differing with the ruling TMC’s handling of the RG Kar hospital rape-murder case.
"Santanu Sen has been suspended for a two-year period after he failed to give a satisfactory reply about the mention of his foreign degree during practice. Apart from coming up with a certificate, he could not furnish further documents to substantiate his claims, and whether reference to such degrees can be made during practice in this manner," President of the Council, Sudipto Roy, told PTI.
