Sandeep Ghosh may also undergo polygraph test
The CBI is also investigating against Sandip Ghosh and the agency also wants to get his polygraph test done. For example, discrepancies have been found in the statements of the victim’s family and the former principal of the hospital, Dr. Sandip Ghosh. Due to different statements, it is being said that the CBI can get his polygraph test done.

Resident doctors are angry over the attitude of the former principal
Sandeep Ghosh has been the principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. Angry doctors questioned the attitude of the principal and created a ruckus, so Dr. Sandeep Ghosh announced his resignation from his job.

Who is Sandip Ghosh?
Born and brought up in Bangaon, about 80 km from Kolkata, Dr. Sandip Ghosh completed his studies from Bangaon High School in 1989. Later, he completed his medical education from RG Kar Medical College. He received a graduate degree in 1994. His early education and professional journey were quite good. However, Dr. Ghosh’s later career was surrounded by controversies. Many complaints have been sent against Ghosh to the state health department. An inquiry was also set up.
