The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is probing into the call details and chats of Dr Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, in connection with their probe into the rape and murder of a woman doctor, PTI reported.

On August 18, Ghosh appeared before CBI officers for a third consecutive day of questioning and was grilled for more than 13 hours at the Salt Lake office.

"Ghosh was asked to furnish details of the phone calls he made before, and after the incident at the hospital. He was asked to specify his role after getting the news of the death of the doctor, who he had contacted and why he made the parents wait for nearly three hours," an officer of the central probe agency said.

The sleuths are also mulling contacting the mobile phone service provider to get the details of Ghosh's phone calls and data consumption, the officer told PTI.

He was also questioned who had ordered the renovation of the rooms near the seminar hall at the emergency building of the hospital after the incident.

"We are trying to find out whether there was any conspiracy or pre-planning to the crime. What was the principal doing and whether he is involved with the incident in any manner," the officer said.

CBI investigators are also verifying Ghosh's statements with versions of other doctors and interns who were on duty on the night of the incident. 

The agency has so far grilled more than 20 people, including a couple of officers of the Kolkata Police, in connection with its investigation, the PTI report added.
