The Central Bureau of Investigation requested a 10-day custody, emphasizing that the corruption case involves a complex network that requires comprehensive investigation.
“We have apprehended only four individuals so far. There is a broader network that must be uncovered, and therefore, we need their custody for detailed interrogation,” the CBI stated in the Alipore Judges Court.
On Monday, the agency arrested Ghosh, his security guard, and two suppliers associated with the hospital where a 31-year-old trainee doctor was reportedly raped and murdered last month.
The CBI has charged Ghosh under an FIR with Section 120B of the IPC (criminal conspiracy), alongside Section 420 IPC (cheating and dishonesty) and the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
