The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) continues its investigation into the rape and murder of a woman doctor at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, focusing on the alleged connections of a doctor, Birupaksha Biswas, to the arrested former principal, Sandip Ghosh. Dr. Biswas, recently transferred from Burdwan Medical College and Hospital to Kakdwip hospital in South 24 Parganas district, was questioned by CBI officers at their CGO Complex office in Salt Lake. The focus of the questioning was Dr. Biswas's presence at R.G. Kar Hospital on August 9, the day the woman doctor's body was found, despite having no official engagement. This inquiry stems from the alleged involvement of Dr. Biswas with a group of doctors and officials known as the 'North Bengal lobby' within the state-run medical establishments. This lobby is accused of intimidation and threats against students at various medical colleges and hospitals across West Bengal. The CBI is investigating whether Dr. Biswas's presence at R.G. Kar Hospital on August 9 was related to the 'North Bengal lobby' activities or any other connection to the tragic events that led to the woman doctor's death.
The 'North Bengal lobby' is a topic of concern within the West Bengal medical community, with allegations of their influence extending beyond intimidation of students. The lobby's presence at R.G. Kar Hospital on August 9, the day the woman doctor was found dead, has sparked suspicion about their potential role in the incident. The CBI's investigation into Dr. Biswas is aimed at uncovering any possible connection between the lobby's activities and the doctor's presence at the hospital. This investigation seeks to shed light on any potential influence the lobby might have had on the events leading up to the tragic death of the woman doctor.
The accusations against Dr. Biswas and the other two doctors – Avik De and Ranjit Saha – are not confined to the 'North Bengal lobby' allegations. They have also been charged under Section 351 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita for allegedly threatening students at various medical colleges and hospitals across West Bengal. This charge relates to the offense of assault by making gestures or preparations that cause someone to believe they are about to be subjected to criminal force. The CBI's ongoing investigation into Dr. Biswas and his alleged connections with the 'North Bengal lobby' will likely provide crucial insights into the intricate web of relationships within West Bengal's medical institutions. The investigation is also likely to shed light on the extent of the influence exerted by the 'North Bengal lobby' and its possible role in the tragic death of the woman doctor at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital.
