The horrifying case of a postgraduate trainee doctor's rape and murder at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata has taken another turn with the arrest of Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of the institution, and Abhijit Mondal, a former Tala police station officer. Both face serious allegations of tampering with evidence and delaying the filing of an FIR, charges that could potentially lead to the death penalty if proven.
The CBI, investigating the case, presented compelling evidence suggesting that crucial records related to the doctor's death were deliberately falsified and altered at the Tala police station. This manipulation of evidence, according to the CBI, was a deliberate attempt to hinder the investigation and potentially shield the perpetrators from justice. The agency seized CCTV footage from the police station for forensic examination, further emphasizing the seriousness of the alleged tampering.
The Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, S Dey, denied bail to Sandip Ghosh, highlighting the gravity of the accusations against him. The magistrate emphasized that if found guilty, Ghosh could potentially face the death penalty, a punishment usually reserved for the most heinous crimes. This decision underscores the court's perception of the seriousness of the allegations and the potential consequences for Ghosh.
The arrest of Ghosh and Mondal, coupled with the CBI's allegations of evidence tampering, has brought a fresh wave of scrutiny to the case. This incident has also raised questions about the accountability of individuals within institutions like the police force and medical colleges. The public is demanding transparency and justice in this tragic case, urging the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and hold those responsible accountable.
