CBI Pursues New Leads in RG Kar Medical College Case, Summons Multiple Doctors

Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, 22 September 2024, Calcutta:  A team of three officials from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrived in Kolkata from Delhi on Sunday, September 22, 2024, intensifying the scrutiny surrounding the ongoing investigation into a high-profile case of rape and murder linked to RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The situation at RG Kar has become increasingly tense as authorities delve deeper into the circumstances surrounding the case.

The CBI officials were seen entering the hospital's 'Platinum Jubilee' building, where they are expected to gather crucial information related to the investigation. Sources indicate that two forensic medicine experts from RG Kar Hospital were also summoned to the CBI office on the same day, highlighting the investigative body’s effort to piece together the details surrounding the case.

One of the central figures in this investigation is Dr. Apurba Biswas, one of the three doctors responsible for conducting the post-mortem of the victim. The CBI has summoned Dr. Biswas once again to the CGO complex for questioning, underscoring the importance of his testimony in the ongoing inquiry. He arrived at the CBI office at noon, where investigators are meticulously recording his statement.

In a related development, Chinmoy Biswas, a sub-inspector from the Tala police station, also appeared at the CGO complex following a summons from the CBI. This comes in the wake of the arrest of the station’s officer-in-charge, Abhijit Mondal, by the CBI, raising questions about the handling of the case by local law enforcement. Sub-inspector Biswas was reportedly present at the crime scene shortly after the incident was reported on the morning of August 9, working alongside the investigating officer from the police station.

Additionally, three doctors close to the victim, identified as Sandeep Ghosh, have also been called back to the CBI office for further questioning. These doctors—Virupaksh Biswas, Abhik Dey, and Saurabh Pal—are under scrutiny due to allegations of mishandling evidence, raising concerns about their role in the investigation.

As the CBI continues to probe deeper into the case, tensions remain high at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The unfolding developments highlight the challenges faced by investigators in unraveling the complexities of this tragic incident. Community members and stakeholders are closely monitoring the situation, awaiting answers and accountability as the investigation progresses.
