Dr Sandip Ghosh, the former head of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, was asked to go on leave by the Calcutta High Court after concerns were raised over his leadership and response during the case. He faced backlash for comments perceived as victim-blaming and for failing to maintain adequate safety for staff, after which he resigned from his post. However, in a surprising turn of events, he was reinstated as Principal of Calcutta Medical College and Hospital just 24 hours later
