The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has raided the farmhouse of Dr Sandip Ghosh, former principal of RG Kar Medical College, in connection with suspected financial irregularities case.
The officials also searched the residence and nursing home of Dr. Sudipta Roy, TMC MLA and chairman of the West Bengal Health Recruitment Board, in North Kolkata and also Chairman of Patients' Welfare Association at RG Kar.
The CBI had raided Roy's properties a day before ED's raid.
