Kolkata, Oct 6: The CBI officials probing the case of financial irregularities at R.G. Kar Medical College & Hospital in Kolkata have got specific clues about how the former principal Sandip Ghosh through his house staff Ashish Pandey used to accept cash by leaking question paper to medical students eager to pay money for easy success.
While CBI is conducting parallel probes against Ghosh in both the cases of financial irregularities and the brutal rape and murder of the junior doctor, the investigating officials have also taken Pandey into custody in the case of financial irregularities.
Sources said that through Pandey's interrogation, the officials secured information on how Ghosh was dependent on Pandey’s recommendation to decide on the examination success of the medical students.
Ghosh and Pandey's bank accounts are under the CBI scanner to get further clues about such illegal transactions. Pandey is among the 10 doctors of R.G. Kar who had been expelled by the College authorities as per a notification issued by the latter on Saturday night.
Sources said that besides Pandey, the officials have also been able to track links of Ghosh with a number of influential persons within the West Bengal Medical Council (WBMC), all of whom are currently under the scanner of CBI.
The other charges against Ghosh include manipulation in the tendering system, awarding infrastructure-related contracts of R.G. Kar to private agencies instead of the state public works department, smuggling of bio-medical wastes outside and selling of organs of unidentified bodies coming to the R.G. Kar morgue for post-mortem purposes.
Ghosh, Pandey and three others arrested by CBI in the financial irregularities case will be presented at a special court in Kolkata on Monday.
In the meantime, sources said that Ghosh had been investigated several times by CBI officials at a correctional home in South Kolkata where he is housed now.

Mumbai, Oct 6: Bigg Boss 18, which is all set to premiere on October 6 at 9 pm, has released its latest promo.
The promo features the immensely popular Swami Aniruddha Acharya Maharaj along with Salman Khan and a Bigg Boss contestant. While the full face of the contestant isn't revealed, his voice and turban makes it clear that the contestant is BJP politician Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga.
In the promo, Swami Aniruddha Acharya Maharaj asks Tajinder Bagga, "Aap kis uddeshya se yahan aaye hain?" (What is your purpose for coming to the Bigg Boss house?). Bagga humorously replies, "Rajnaitik log bahut lalchi hote hain. Hamara lalach ye hota hai ki jyada se jyada log humein janen" (Politicians are greedy. Our greed is to be known by as many people as possible).
Swami Ji continues by asking Bagga, "Aapki shaadi ho gayi?" (Are you married?). Bagga responds, "Bhai se chota hoon" (I am younger than Salman).
In a lighthearted moment, Swami Aniruddha Acharya Maharaj jokingly declares, "Do dekhni padegi, ek aapke liye aur ek inke liye" (I will have to find two matches, one for you and one for Salman).
Adding to the humor, he says, "Main jo dekhoonga, woh bhagegi nahi" (I will find a girl who won't run away).
Salman, with his usual wit, instantly replies, "Humein bhagodi chahiye" (I want a runaway girl).
Tajinder Bagga, a BJP politician from Delhi, is quite popular on social media for fearlessly raising his voice for nationalist causes. In 2020, he contested the Hari Nagar Assembly seat on a BJP ticket but lost to AAP’s Rajkumari Dhillon. In 2022, Bagga was arrested by the Punjab police after allegations by the AAP of making provocative statements.
Bigg Boss 18 has some interesting contestants this season, including TV actor Nia Sharma, Vivian Dsena, and Alice Kaushik. Bollywood actor Shilpa Shirodkar is also part of the show.

New Delhi, Oct 6: India's T20 World Cup winning stars revealed who is the 'Dabangg' of the team.
Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Arshdeep Singh and Axar Patel were speaking at the latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 2. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma was also present at the show.
The show's judge, Archana Puran Singh, gave some movie titles to the Team India players and asked them to who the titles fit the most. She started off with the Salman Khan starrer Dabanng.
Suryakumar and Dube looked at Rohit, suggesting him to the 'Dabanng' of the team. Dube said, "There are many players in our team who can be called Dabanng because of their style. But the main one is captain, so he is Dabanng."
On being asked who is the 'Ghajini' of the team, Rohit, notorious for forgetting things like the movie's lead character Sanjay Singhania played by Amir Khan, hilariously said that, "This is my real title".
Suryakumar and Dube also chipped in with some hilarious remarks, with Dube saying. "During toss, he forgets the names of two sides of coin." and Surya joking, "Naam nahi bhoolte, coin hi bhool jaate hain (He does not forget the names of the sides, but the coin itself".
Archana asked who is the 'Bluffmaster' of the team, refering to 2005 film staring Abhishek Bacchan. Dube said that Suryakumar is the one to who the title fits the most because of his 360-degree batting abilities.
"He does things while batting that the bowlers do not see coming. He is called a 360-degree player. He is always a step ahead of the bowler and does something different everytime. If you expect him to do something, he surprises you by doing something else," said Dube.
Archana asked the team that who is the 'Nautanki Saala' of the team, refering to a Ayushmann Khurrana film from 2013 of the same name and Suryakumar, Rohit revealed that the title fits perfectly on spinner Kuldeep Yadav, describing him as "dramatic".
Suryakumar said, "Kuldeep sbse zyada nautanki hai. 'Dhoop bahut hai bhaiya. Tamatar ki tarah laal hogye. 'Rohit bhai dhoop hai batting lelo (Kuldeep is the most dramatic. 'It is too hot brother. I have got as red as a tomato in this heat. Let us taking batting first, Rohit bhai).
To this, Rohit agreed and said, "Haan. Kuldeep Yadav sbse zyada nautanki hai (Yes, Kuldeep is the most dramatic).
The iconic Kensington Oval was the stage for this dramatic final where India faced off against South Africa. The match was a rollercoaster of emotions. Rohit led from the front both as a captain and a batter. His strategic decisions and crucial knocks were instrumental in guiding India to their T20 World Cup victory after seventeen years.
India ended their 11-year-long ICC trophy drought as Virat Kohli (76), Hardik Pandya (3/20) and Jasprit Bumrah (2/18) starred in Men in Blue's seven-run win over South Africa in the final at Barbados on June 29.
Virat's masterclass knock helped India reach 176/7 in 20 overs, while Bumrah and Pandya unleashed a pace choke on Proteas, who were once riding on the high of a 27-ball 52 by Klaasen, snatching the match from a losing position to restrict Proteas to 169/8 in their 20 overs.
