Trinamool Chhatra Parishad suspends SSKM Hospital PGT Abhik Dey over purported video showing his presence at RG Kar crime scene
Kolkata/IBNS: Trinamool Chhatra Parishad Monday suspended SSKM Hospital PGT Abhik Dey from the organization soon after former RG Kar Medical College and Hospital ex-president Sandeep Ghosh's arrest
Issuing a statement, the West Bengal Trinamool Chhatra Parishad said: "SSKM's student doctor Abhik Dey is facing various allegations. Allegedly, Abhik Dey was present in the seminar hall on the day the body of the dead doctor-student was recovered from RG Kar Hospital. Until the full investigation of the incident is completed, Abhik will remain suspended."
State Trinamool Chhatra Parishad President Trinankar Bhattacharya released the press statement on behalf of the party.
This comes after some pictures, released last Friday, showed Abhik Deyallegedly present among a group of men wearing a red shirt at the seminar room of the Pulmonary Medicine Department of RG Kar where the corpse of the junior doctor, raped and murdered, was seen lying.
Ever since the pictures surfaced, questions have been raised regarding who these people were in the crowd and why they were present at the scene of the crime.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), entrusted with the investigation of the gruesome rape and murder of a junior doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Hospital as well as the financial irregularities carried out at the facility, has arrested the medical college's ex-principal Sandip Ghosh after taking him to Nizam Palace from the CGO complex in the city.
Ghosh has been summoned to the CGO complex almost every day ever since the CBI undertook the investigation into the horrific incident.
According to reports, he has been arrested by the CBI's anti-corruption branch over financial irregularities and corruption charges at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital during his tenure as the principal of the facility.
Besides him, three others arrested by the CBI's anti-corruption branch include vendors Biplab Singha, Suman Hazara, and additional security to Sandeep Ghosh, Afsar Ali.
