RG Kar Financial Irregularities Case: Court Reprimands CBI for Failing to Provide Documents

“Why does the CBI suppress material facts? Some registers were not given. The CBI should be issued a show-cause notice. The CBI has not given copies. It has suppressed our emails,” the lawyer told the court.

In response to the accusations, the counsel for CBI stated, "He is the only one having problems. No one else has had problems. We will provide the documents."

Hearing arguments on both sides, the court reprimanded Ghosh’s counsel, by saying, “We’re not here to see faults of either side… This isn’t a political platform where you can raise your voice. You cannot talk like this against an agency. Give in writing.”

Following this, the judge then reprimanded the CBI and said, “Where are your scanned copies? If the scanned copy is ready with you, provide it right now. Ask your representative (CBI) to bring the documents."

Further, the court directed the agency to immediately provide all missing documents. The court instructed the agency to ensure that all deficient documents were handed over to the accused’s legal team via email and a pen drive by 4 PM on Monday, the Indian Express reports. 

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the Calcutta High Court granted Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, seven days to review the documents submitted by the CBI as part of the chargesheet in a case of financial irregularities during his tenure.

Sandip Ghosh was the principal of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital when a medic was raped and murdered inside its seminar room on August 9 last year, triggering outrage across the country.
