Bibhash Lodh, BS News Agency: Notably, allegations of financial irregularities surfaced during the course of the investigation into the rape and murder of a female doctor on duty at RG Kar Hospital. The CBI conducted parallel investigations into both cases. Subsequently, ED investigations revealed allegations of various tender-related irregularities that occurred during Sandip Ghosh's tenure. Additionally, multiple allegations of corruption emerged regarding illegal parking within the hospital premises and the irregular procurement of various medical equipment. Suvendu's administration has now taken another significant step in the RG Kar affair; he has granted the necessary clearance to initiate judicial proceedings against Sandip Ghosh. The Chief Minister himself announced this development via a social media post. He alleged that during the tenure of his predecessor, Mamata Banerjee, permission to initiate legal action against Sandip was being withheld. Finally, Suvendu's saffron-clad administration has granted that permission. In connection with the rape and murder of a medical student at RG Kar Hospital, multiple allegations of corruption had been leveled against the then-Superintendent, Sandip Ghosh. It is alleged that the investigation into these charges was not conducted properly. Furthermore, it is claimed that Mamata's government had even refused to grant permission to the ED to conduct an investigation into the matter. Finally, Suvendu Adhikari has granted the central agency the clearance to proceed with that investigation. Consequently, the ED now faces no further impediments in continuing its investigation against Sandip Ghosh. It is worth mentioning that as recently as February 16, during a hearing at Bichar Bhawan regarding the RG Kar Hospital corruption case, the ED submitted its chargesheet and informed the court that further judicial proceedings could not commence solely due to the lack of necessary permission. The Health Department under the previous administration had failed to grant that approval. According to sources, the chargesheet named Sandip, along with several other individuals.
