# Sandip Ghosh appears before ED hours late for RG Kar questioning 2026-11-10T11:31:51+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets (4 source reports) Sandip Ghosh, former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, appeared at the Enforcement Directorate's Salt Lake office in Kolkata on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, for questioning in an alleged multi-crore financial irregularities case, but arrived hours after his scheduled 11 a.m. summon. Ghosh reached shortly before 1.30 p.m. and went inside, his counsel had appeared at the appointed time. The ED had previously summoned him on 4 November, but he did not appear and instead sought more time. The ED and the CBI are conducting parallel investigations into allegations that government funds were illegally transferred from the hospital's bank account to accounts of vendors and contractors close to Ghosh. The CBI arrested Ghosh in 2024, and the Supreme Court granted him bail on 15 October 2026. The alleged irregularities came to light after the rape and murder of a junior woman doctor on the hospital premises in August 2024, which triggered widespread protests. The CBI registered a case on 24 August 2024. Update, 10 November 2026: Tripura Times now also reports the story, confirming all facts: Ghosh arrived at the ED's Salt Lake office before 1.30 p.m. after his counsel appeared at 11 a.m., and the ED had summoned him on 4 November, when he did not appear. The outlet adds no new details beyond those in the Han India and Yes Punjab reports. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three outlets report the event identically. The Han India, Yes Punjab, and Tripura Times each lead with Ghosh arriving hours late, mention his counsel appearing at the scheduled 11 a.m., and note his missed November 4 summons. Every source includes the same background: the ED and CBI parallel probes, Ghosh's 2024 arrest and 15 October 2026 bail, and the August 2024 rape-murder that exposed the alleged fund diversions. The consistent straight-news style, no added commentary or framing differences, yields uniform coverage. The article's newsworthiness rests on the ED summon re-activating a high-profile case whose bail does not preclude questioning. No next step is named. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - Syndicated copy - thehansindia.com Straight news reporting without slant on this specific article - tripuratimes.com Straight news reporting without slant on this specific article - yespunjab.com (neutral report) Straight news reporting without slant on this specific article This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
