Kolkata's Shocking Suicide Claim: The Role of Former Principal Sandip Ghosh

Shocking Developments in Kolkata's Doctor Death Case

KOLKATA: Colleagues of the PGT doctor whose body was found in RG Kar Medical College and Hospital (RGKMCH) seminar hall said the chain of command that initially told the doctor's parents that she had died by suicide started at the very top - at the office of former principal Sandip Ghosh.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday had questioned how and why the hospital had initially told the victim's parents that she had died by suicide when it was apparent that it was rape and murder.

1. On Aug 9, the parents of the 31-year-old received a call from the hospital's assistant superintendent at 10.53 am, asking them to come as their daughter had fallen ill.
2. Minutes later when the parents were getting ready to visit the hospital, they received another call informing them that their daughter had died by suicide.
3. Hospital sources said the decision to inform the parents that their daughter had died by suicide was taken in the office of ex-principal Ghosh.
4. The parents, as well as colleagues of the deceased doctor, have been questioning the motive behind the initial suicide theory when it was clearly a rape and murder case.

Continuing Investigation

This evolving case highlights the critical need for transparency in hospital communications in Kolkata. As investigations unfold, the focus remains on how institutional failures contributed to the tragic misrepresentation of the doctor’s death.
