Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 21 (ANI): Akhtar Ali, ex-Deputy Superintendent at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, on Wednesday filed a case against ex-principal Sandip Ghosh in the Calcutta High Court, alleging a massive nexus involving various scams.
Akhtar Ali told ANI that Sandip Ghosh is allegedly involved in scams like biomedical waste, illegally handling dead bodies, failing students and demanding bribes, awarding unnecessary tenders and operating illegal stall kiosks.
He said, “Today I have filed a case in the High Court, a criminal case, that case has been registered and its admission hearing is tomorrow. I have also appealed to the High Court for my safety and security because I am also getting threats. And this is a very big scam. Sandip Ghosh has a very big nexus which I want to expose.”
“There are many scams like biomedical waste, dead bodies, failing students, taking money from them and giving illegal stall kiosks, unnecessary tenders etc. So there are many such regulations and dead body is also one of them. So I want its inquiry should be done at a high level and he should be punished and this racket should be exposed. Some dead bodies without the consent of the patient party, without the will and consent of forensic medicine HoD, he gave them in the workshop,” he added.
He also alleged that Ghosh was previously accused, but no action was taken.
“So there was an inquiry committee against this, a complaint was also made in the National Commission, PIL was also done in the High Court but no action was taken against him. He was transferred twice but after being transferred, he sat on the post again,” he said.
Akhat Ali, further said that he was transferred because he had exposed Sandip Ghosh and requested the CBI and ED to intervene.
“He is a corrupt man and he is like a mafia. When I saw the accused (arrested in the case) photos on TV, it suddenly came to my mind that this man used to work under Sandip Ghosh. So, I don’t know if he knew him. But I had seen him with Dr Sandip Ghosh. I have asked CBI and ED to intervene because Sandip Ghosh is running a huge nexus. It is important to break it and expose it,” he added.
Sandip Ghosh resigned from the position of principal at RG Kar Medical College alleging that he was being defamed on social media platforms following the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at the hospital premises.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Tuesday constituted a 10-member National Task Force to make recommendations on the prevention of violence and safe working conditions for medical professionals. The task force includes Surgeon Vice Admiral Arti Sarin, among others.
On August 9, a postgraduate trainee doctor was allegedly raped and murdered while on duty at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata, sparking nationwide strikes and protests by the medical community. (ANI)
