RG Kar Corruption Case: Supreme Court Grants Bail to Sandip Ghosh
- •Former RG Kar principal Sandip Ghosh has been granted bail by the Supreme Court.
- •The bench of Justices M.M. Sundresh and Prasanna B. Varale dismissed the Calcutta High Court's order considering the prolonged detention.
- •CBI had leveled serious charges including financial irregularities and tampering with student marks.
Key Questions Answered
The Supreme Court granted bail to Sandip Ghosh because he had already been in jail for two years while the CBI had only questioned 7 out of 147 witnesses, considering the current slow stage of the trial process.
The CBI brought multiple charges against Sandip Ghosh including criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, cheating, forgery, financial irregularities, and tampering with medical student marks.
The Calcutta High Court rejected his bail plea because he was accused of misappropriating public funds tied to healthcare services, and as an influential person, he might influence witnesses.
