Seven years ago, former RG Kar hospital principal Dr Sandip Ghosh landed in deep trouble when he was visiting Hong Kong. In 2017, he was acquitted in a molestation case in the city, where he went for a two-month clinical exchange programme.
Now jailed for alleged financial corruption and linked to the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar hospital, Ghosh underwent trial and was acquitted in the case in Hong Kong.
According to a report published by SCMP, his name matches that of an “Indian orthopaedist who appeared in a Hong Kong court in 2017 over allegations he molested a male nursing student at Queen Elizabeth Hospital”.
The controversial ex-principal was in Hong Kong for only a few days as the exchange programme was cancelled due to the trial in the indecent assault case. SCMP quoted a medical sector source saying he only briefly worked at the Yau Ma Tei hospital.
