On the directions of the Calcutta High Court, the CBI has registered cases into the killing as well as alleged financial irregularities.
As per a media report in the TOI, the Swasthya Bhavan complaint stated, “Upon examination of the complaint, it has transpired during departmental investigation that there is a criminal nexus between Ghosh and certain unscrupulous contractors leading to award of various works of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata to them. The findings have revealed collusive bidding or bid rigging leading to award of such works to one cafeteria and two trading firms that were awarded the contract for running the cafeteria in an apparent instance of collusive bidding''.
The High Court has also instructed the CBI to submit a progress report on the investigation within three weeks.
