'Why do you protect him? Calcutta HC slams Bengal govt over ex-RG Kar College principal's new post

Kolkata/IBNS: The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday came down heavily on the state government over the appointment of Dr. Sandip Ghosh to a government college within hours after he resigned as the principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, where a trainee doctor was raped and murdered last week, media reports said.

Slamming the state government and administration, the court wondered how Dr. Ghosh stepped down and was "rewarded with another responsibility?"

"...why do you protect (him)? Let him tell the truth... something is missing here," the court thundered as reported by NDTV.

The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday ordered controversial Dr. Sandip Ghosh to go on a long leave.

"The Principal is the guardian of all doctors working there... if he doesn't show any empathy who will show? He should be at home not working anywhere...," Chief Justice TS Sivagnanam said as quoted by NDTV.

"... this Principal will not function... let him go on long leave. Otherwise we pass an order," the court said.

Meanwhile, the students of Calcutta National Medical College on Tuesday blocked former RG Kar College principal Dr. Sandip Ghosh from entering into the campus protesting against the alleged rape and murder of the medical student.

The trainee doctor was allegedly raped and murdered at the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, which is located in North Kolkata's Belgachia area.

One person, a civic volunteer, has been arrested in connection with the case but protesting students suspect more people are involved in the case.
