The Calcutta High Court has transferred the investigation into financial irregularities at R G Kar Medical College and Hospital to the CBI from the state-appointed SIT. This decision, made on August 23, 2024, follows a petition by former deputy superintendent Akhtar Ali. The CBI is required to take over the probe by 10 am on August 24. This development comes after the West Bengal government set up the SIT to investigate financial discrepancies dating back to January 2021, amid ongoing protests related to a recent rape and murder case.
