The Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) are conducting extensive raids and investigations into Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. Ghosh has been accused of financial irregularities, operating a criminal nexus, and favoring vendors and close associates for contracts. Multiple locations, including Ghosh's luxurious bungalow, two flats, a medical store, and properties belonging to his aides, are being searched. The CBI's initial findings indicate that Ghosh caused wrongful losses to the government by favoring vendors from his previous positions. The ED is also investigating at least seven properties linked to Ghosh, including his father Satya Prakash Ghosh's residence and a location in Chinar Park. Additionally, the residence of Ghosh's close aide, Chandan Louhar, is also under scrutiny.
