The CBI’s probe has revealed that both Ghosh and the Kolkata Police SHO were allegedly involved in obstructing justice by delaying the investigation and manipulating evidence.

On August 24, following the orders of the Calcutta High Court, an official FIR was registered by the CBI against Ghosh in the alleged corruption case. The Indian Medical Association ( IMA ) of Kolkata had also suspended the membership of Ghosh amid a CBI probe into the corruption case.
