A senior government medic, Akhtar Ali, had filed a case and sought both CBI and ED probe into the alleged money laundering in purchasing medical equipment of the hospital during the tenure of Sandip Ghosh, who has been arrested in the case.
Besides Ghosh and Panday, the CBI also named two vendors Biplab Singha and Suman Hazra and Ghosh's former security man Afsar Ali.
