Former NBMCH students vow to restore image amid Health Syndicate Controversy
Kolkata: In a significant effort to restore the reputation of North Bengal Medical College (NBMC) a group of former students have gathered at the Jadavpur University to formulate a plan. The 57-year-old medical college has recently been spired in a controversy due to the negative perception associated with the alleged health syndicate linked to the former students.
“This meeting was meant to discuss our responsibility in maintaining the sanctity of our alma mater,” said an associate professor of infectious diseases at IPGMER, Yogiraj Ray, an NBMC alumnus.
One of the key actions proposed by these students is to have the name of Avik De who is an NBMC alumnus, removed from a plaque at the college administration building. They further want the West Bengal Medical Council office to be removed from the College’s super-specialty block. This request is likely to be related to Sushanta Roy’s involvement in the case. According to the sources Sushanta Roy used to operate from this office.
Both Avik Dey and Sushanta Roy are currently under investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

According to Times of India, “Avik De’s name is engraved on a stone plaque installed in commemoration of the golden jubilee of NBMC. We want his name to be removed,” said NBMC professor and head of radiotherapy Samar Datta, an alumnus.
