TMC's Nirmal Ghosh Arrested over RG Kar Doctor's Hurried Cremation
Police named three people, including former MLA Nirmal Ghosh, in a case tied to claims that the doctor’s cremation was moved ahead and evidence was withheld.
- On Wednesday, West Bengal Police arrested former Trinamool Congress MLA Nirmal Ghosh in Odisha for his alleged role in the "hurried cremation" of the 31-year-old doctor raped and murdered at Kar Medical College in August 2024.
- The arrest stems from a fresh FIR lodged Sunday at Khardah Police Station, where the victim's father alleged the cremation was rushed to prevent a second autopsy without family consent.
- West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari directed the investigation after citing procedural lapses, including alleged fee waivers and missing signatures of the victim's family at the crematorium.
- Authorities tracked Ghosh to a hotel using mobile tower data and are transporting him to Kolkata for a court appearance scheduled for Friday, August 14, 2026.
- Two other individuals, Somnath Dey and Sanjib Mukherjee, are also named in the case, which operates separately from the CBI's ongoing probe into the original 2024 crime.
