Sandip Ghosh, ex-principal of RG Kar Medical College, who was sent to CBI custody for eight days in the corruption case in the Kolkata scandal, was seen restless on the first night in jail. He was given a completely vegetarian meal on Tuesday night, which he somehow ate reluctantly and went to sleep. But according to sources, he kept tossing and turning throughout the night. He could not sleep. However, he looked extremely tired and depressed.
According to the information, Dr. Sandeep Ghosh has been kept in a lockup on the 14th floor of the second MSO building in Nizam Palace, the office of the CBI’s Anti-Corruption Branch.

According to sources, “Dr. Sandeep Ghosh’s first night in CBI custody has been almost sleepless. It is possible that he has not yet accepted his arrest. It takes time. Because this is a completely different situation for those who have never spent the night in a police station or jail. He is looking a little nervous since his arrest. His nervousness has increased after seeing the anger of the people while coming out of the court on Tuesday.
It is being told that after being arrested on Monday, Sandeep Ghosh was given pure vegetarian food for dinner, as it was Kali Puja that day. He believes in God. He often goes to Balaji temple every morning, which is just 50 meters away from his house in Beliaghata area of Kolkata. Therefore, on his request, a completely vegetarian meal was given for dinner. But he did not eat the food willingly.
