Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh on Monday visited the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) office in Kolkata as the agency probes the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
Interacting with the media after the visit, Kunal Ghosh said he was visiting for some personal, but all added that some junior doctors wanted him to pass off some information to the CBI.
“I have come here for my personal work. I have to give information under a notification before going out of Kolkata, I have come here with the list of that information,” Ghosh told media persons, according to ANI.
"Along with this, some junior doctors want to give some information to the CBI, but they do not have any access to give it, so they contacted me. If this information will be useful to them (CBI), then they (junior doctors) are ready to cooperate..."
