Financial Irregularities at RG Kar Hospital: CBI links Sandip Ghosh to Alleged Illegal Contracts with Private Firm
Kolkata: In a recent development, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has uncovered new leads in its probe into the alleged multi-crore financial irregularities at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The agency has traced a link between the controversial former Principal of the hospital, Sandip Ghosh, and a private company, Maa Tara Traders.
The CBI’s findings indicate that this private company may have been awarded similar contracts at other state-run hospitals in West Bengal.
Sandip Ghosh who has been at the center of controversy, is a close associate of the owner of Maa Tara Traders. Sandip Ghosh under scrutiny for allegedly being involved in awarding illegal contracts for medical equipment and infrastructure projects at R.G. Kar was arrested by the CBI currently in judicial custody.

Following the investigation's findings, the CBI informed a special court in Kolkata that Maa Tara Traders may have been awarded contracts through questionable means. One of the key concerns by the CBI is that Ghosh allegedly awarded a major contract for setting up a skilled laboratory at R.G. Kar to Maa Tara Traders despite the company having no prior experience in similar technical projects.

Sources further revealed that the contract price for the skill laboratory was significantly inflated. The bid awarded to Sinha’s company was around Rs 2.97 crore, despite the company having no prior experience. The CBI also pointed out that a similar project at another hospital was completed for only about Rs 70 lakh. These massive discrepancies in pricing have raised serious questions about the transparency and fairness of the hospital's bidding process.
