Mon Sep 16 14:01:25 UTC 2024: ## Former R.G. Kar Hospital Principal Found Deceptive in Polygraph Test, CBI Alleges

**Kolkata, September 16, 2024** – The CBI investigation into the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at the R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital has taken a significant turn with the revelation that former principal Sandip Ghosh showed deceptive behavior during a polygraph test and layered voice analysis.

According to a report from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL), New Delhi, Ghosh’s responses were found to be inconsistent and untruthful regarding key aspects of the case. While the polygraph test results cannot be used as direct evidence in court, the CBI believes the information obtained could lead them to discover corroborating evidence.

Ghosh was initially arrested on September 2nd for alleged financial irregularities at the hospital and later charged with evidence tampering. The CBI suspects Ghosh received information about the trainee doctor’s death at 9:58 am on August 9th but delayed reporting the incident to police.

Furthermore, the agency alleges that Ghosh, instead of immediately pursuing an FIR, attempted to establish a narrative of suicide, despite visible external injuries on the victim’s body. The CBI believes he deliberately delayed contacting authorities and attempted to cover up the crime.

The investigation also revealed that Ghosh contacted the Officer In Charge (OC) of Tala Police Station, Abhijit Mondal, at 10:03 am on August 9th, and an advocate at 1:40 pm. However, a case of unnatural death was only registered at 11:30 pm.

Mondal, also arrested by the CBI, reportedly received information about the incident at 10:03 am but did not reach the crime scene until an hour later. The CBI alleges that Mondal, in collusion with hospital authorities, intentionally fabricated a false general diary entry, claiming the body was found in an unconscious state. This deliberate action, according to the CBI, hampered the investigation and resulted in the loss of crucial evidence.

The trainee doctor was found dead in the seminar hall of the hospital on August 9th, with severe injury marks on her body. Sanjay Roy, a police volunteer, was arrested based on CCTV footage showing him entering the seminar hall at 4:03 am on the day of the incident.

The Calcutta High Court ordered the transfer of the investigation from the Kolkata Police to the CBI on August 13th. The CBI took over the case the following day.
