RG Kar rape-murder case: ED files case under PMLA to probe Sandip Ghosh

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered a case under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to probe money laundering charges against Sandip Ghosh, former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

The agency has registered the case based on an FIR registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), earlier this month, on the directions of the Calcutta High Court and booked Ghosh and three Kolkata-based private entities -- Ma Tara Traders of Madhya Jhorehat, Banipur, Howrah; Eshan Cafe of 4/1, Belgachia, and Khama Louha.

As per available information, the ED will soon carry out raids on the premises of the accused and as per procedure, attach their assets under PMLA. People in the know said that the agency has gathered banking and medical procurement documents related to the hospital and medical college.


The agency will shortly issue summons to the accused for questioning.
