The Central Bureau of Investigation CBI NS team, probing the case of alleged financial irregularity at R.G Kar Medical College & Hospital is surprised to find that the controversial, former Principal Sandip Ghosh accessed the documents relating to complaints filed against him with the state Health Department as well other related bodies. Copies of such complaints were recovered from a locker at Ghosh's residence during the recent raid and search operations, sources aware of the development said. The CBI sleuths raided Ghosh's residence at Beliaghata in central Kolkata.
After this recovery, the CBI officials felt that any complaint received against Ghosh in state government forums like the Health Department, he was immediately informed of such complaints, instead of keeping them confidential before initiating a departmental investigation on their basis.
Agency officials have also recovered crucial documents relating to tenders floated by the hospital authorities over a period of time from Ghosh's residence, though these should be ideally kept at the office instead, sources said.
Sources said CBI officials are now considering interrogating some Health Department officials on how the documents related to complaints can be accessed by the person against whom such complaints have been filed.
Whereas the CBI had initiated an investigation into the financial irregularities, with the ED subsequently joining the investigation after registering an ECIR, officials of both agencies have recovered and traced various incriminating documents in the matter.
Among the documents recovered or traced so far include those related to the shell business entities playing a role in swindling the tendering process by R.G Kar authorities during the period when Ghosh was at the helm of affairs as the Principal.
ED officials are also questioning the angle of Ghosh's assets being disproportionate to his income and trying to find the money trail about the sources of funds for purchasing such assets.
