Delhi, Aug 28: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Wednesday eliminated the membership of former RG Kar Medical College and Hospital principal Dr Sandip Ghosh in connection with the brutal rape & murder of the junior doctor a while ago.
The decision to suspend the IMA membership of Ghosh, who is the vice president of the association's Kolkata branch, was taken by its disciplinary committee headed by the panel’s national Chairperson Dr RV Asokan.
The order said the disciplinary committee of the IMA has "unanimously decided to suspend you forthwith from the membership of Indian Medical Association."
"The IMA Bengal state branch as well as certain associations' of doctors also had demanded action citing the nature of disrepute brought by you to the profession on the whole," it said.
The bereaved parents had put up their grievances against Ghosh in dealing with the situation so shabbily. Ghosh as well, lacked empathy and sensitivity in handling the issue in appropriate manner befitting the responsibility held by him in dealings with them, the order said.
