After days of questioning, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday arrested Sandip Ghosh, the controversial former principal of R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata where a junior doctor was found raped and murdered on the morning of August 9 when Ghosh was in charge of the state-run institute.
Ghosh was arrested on the 16th day of his daily interrogation by the central agency, which took over the probe from the Kolkata Police following the direction of the Calcutta High Court on August 14.
