Kolkata horror: CBI alleges ‘nexus’ between Sanjay Ghosh, Abhijit Mondal in bid to ‘shield’ heinous crime
Abhijit Mondal, Sanjay Ghosh
Former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Sandip Ghosh, and Tala police station in-charge, Abhijit Mondal, were remanded in CBI custody till September 17 by a court in Sealdah on Sunday (Sep 15).
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) alleged in court that there "could be a bigger conspiracy" and that both Ghosh and Mondal played "vital roles" in the rape and murder case of a junior doctor at RG Kar.
A nexus to hide the crime
The CBI seeking three-day custody of the two men alleged that Ghosh and Mondal tried to "downplay" the horrific incident as well as "shield" the heinous crime and that the agency wanted to interrogate them "face-to-face".
A lawyer for CBI said that the agency had obtained call detail records (CDR) of the two on the night of the incident and probe suggested a possible nexus between the two.
"We want to confront both of them," said the CBI lawyer.

The CBI alleged that Mondal took an "unusually long time to arrive at the scene of the crime," even though it was "only a five-minute drive." According to the investigative agency, the Tala police station in-charge was "informed about the incident at 10.03 am but he reached the spot at 11 am."
Furthermore, the lawyer pointed out a "14-hour delay in registering an FIR," and also raised questions regarding the filing of a "general diary by the police, stating that the victim was lying unconscious".
"He was obligated to register the FIR. They tried to pass it off as a suicide. There was a clear dereliction of duty. Custodial interrogation of both individuals is necessary."
"It was a case of sexual assault, and they should have approached it cautiously. Mondal conspired with others... There is no conflict between the CBI and the police. We just want to uncover the truth. For us, he is not a police officer; he is a suspect," added the CBI's lawyer.
Both Ghosh and Mondal have been taken to the CBI Special Crime Branch Office at the CGO Complex in Salt Lake.
