A Kolkata court on Monday extended the judicial custody of the former principal of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital and the suspended police officer till October 4 in connection with the case.
The court also asked the CBI, which is investigating the case, to interrogate Ghosh and Mondal, the suspended officer-in-charge of Tala Police Station, in jail.
The RG Kar Medical College and Hospital is located in the jurisdiction of the Tala Police Station in north Kolkata.
The central probe agency, during Monday’s hearing, had prayed for a three-day CBI custody.
The CBI had, earlier this month, arrested Mondal and charged him with evidence tampering in the rape-murder of the postgraduate trainee doctor.
The agency also added charges of evidence tampering against Ghosh, who was in judicial custody after being arrested on September 2 in connection with alleged financial irregularities at the RG Kar hospital.
Mondal also faces accusations of delaying the registration of FIR and other related offences.
The body of the postgraduate trainee doctor was found in the seminar hall of the hospital on August 9.
