CBI examines the corruption charges

It is also inquiring into all the financial irregularities about Dr.Sandip Ghosh. This mismanagement of money has created a breeding ground for malpractices, which, in turn, has some bearing on the security and the running of the hospital. Without a doubt, these corrupt practices may serve as a master key to resolving the mystery behind the crime.

The incident has sparked intense protests in West Bengal, in which medical students, doctors, and civil rights groups have united to raise their voices loudly for justice for the victim. Against this backdrop, concerns for doctors' safety have increased, along with a strong demand for the strictest and immediate implementation of safety measures that would safeguard the lives of doctors and physicians.

Political Fallout

What began as a criminal case soon snowballed into a complete political battlefield, pitting the ruling TMC of West Bengal against the opposition BJP, each trying to establish its ability to handle the crisis that was unfolding. BJP has accused the state government of allowing the 'Rule of Law' to decline.

With each step that the CBI moves forward for investigation, the seriousness of the issue goes a step further deep, taking extra connotations into the health and governance of West Bengal. This will undoubtedly highlight serious concerns at RG Kar Medical College and highlight the urgent need to implement changes as soon as possible. A strong demand for justice and accountability exists among the public and medical professionals.
