The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Saturday arrested Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, along with Abhijit Mondal, the officer-in-charge of Tala police station, in connection with the Kolkata rape-murder case, news agency ANI reported.

Sources revealed that CBI's special crime branch arrested Mondal owing to his delayed registration of the first information report (FIR) regarding the case while Ghosh was taken into custody for allegedly "misleading the investigation" and delaying the declaration of the victim’s death, thus hindering the case’s progress.
