Sandip Kumar Ghosh, is an Indian doctor and former principal of R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital.

Early life

[edit]

Ghosh hails from Bangaon, North 24 parganas, in the Indian state of West Bengal.[4] He passed the Madhyamik examination in 1987 from Asansol Ramakrishna Mission High School[5][6] and completed higher secondary from Bongaon High School in 1989. Subsequently, he got enrolled in R. G. Kar Medical College and passed MBBS in 1994.[7] Ghosh worked as an orthopaedics professor and surgeon at Calcutta National Medical College, later becoming the vice-principal of the college. In 2021, he was appointed principal of R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital.[8]

Controversies

[edit]
  • It was alleged that on 8 April 2017, Ghosh sexually assaulted a male nursing student in Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Hong Kong.[9][10]
  • Ghosh's tenure as the principal of R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital was marked by controversy, highlighting a number of professional irregularities.[11][12] In June 2023, repeated allegations of corruption were raised against Ghosh. He was transferred to Murshidabad Medical College in Berhampore due to serious accusations of manipulation of tenders, misconduct, ethical violations, and financial mishaps.[13][14] Ghosh was reinstated as the principal of R. G. Kar Medical College.[15] Complaints were filed against him to the West Bengal State Vigilance Commission, on grounds of nepotism, demanding bribes and awarding out-of-turn contracts.[16] In early 2021, The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) had identified financial irregularities during his tenure at R. G. Kar Medical College.[8]
  • Following the 2024 Kolkata rape and murder incident, a rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor inside the hospital premises, huge agitation led against Ghosh. He was transferred to Calcutta National Medical College as principal but could not join due to large-scale mass protests.[17][18] Ghosh finally resigned from the post on 12 August. On 13 August, the Calcutta High Court intervened and directed Ghosh to take immediate leave. On 28 August, The Indian Medical Association suspended his membership.[19][20] Ghosh had been subject to two polygraph tests over an alleged cover-up of the rape and allegations of financial fraud and irregularities at the college and hospital. On 2 September, the Central Bureau of Investigation arrested him along with three others over financial irregularities and fraud during his tenure as the principal.[21][22][23] Subsequently, the West Bengal Health Department suspended Sandip Ghosh on 3 September.[24][25]

On September 15, 2024, he was arrested by the CBI for tampering with the evidence.[26]
