The CBI has arrested Sandip Ghosh, former principal of Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College, and police official Abhijit Mondal over their alleged roles in obstructing the investigation into a trainee doctor's rape and murder. Ghosh, previously implicated in financial irregularities, and Mondal are accused of delaying the FIR and mishandling evidence. The doctor's body was found on August 9, but the FIR was delayed by over 12 hours. The arrests come amid widespread protests and scrutiny of Kolkata’s health system and police practices.
