The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted searches on Sunday at multiple locations in Kolkata, including the homes and offices of former RG Kar Medical College and Hospital officials, as part of their probe into alleged financial irregularities.

At least seven CBI officers questioned Ghosh at his residence in Beliaghata starting at 8 AM. The team arrived at his home around 6 a.m. but waited an hour and a half for him to open the door. Vashisth was interrogated about his knowledge of the financial discrepancies during his tenure.
