The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has suspended Dr. Sandip Ghosh's membership due to his alleged involvement in the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) are investigating financial irregularities and bribery associated with his tenure. Ghosh has undergone polygraph tests, and multiple searches have been conducted in Kolkata as part of the probe.
