A fresh criminal complaint has been filed in Kolkata linking ex-MLA Nirmal Ghosh to the hurried cremation of junior doctor RG Kar.

A new First Information Report (FIR) has been registered in Kolkata, naming ex-MLA Nirmal Ghosh as an accused in connection with the expedited cremation of junior doctor RG Kar. The complaint alleges that Ghosh played a role in arranging the burial without following the usual protocols.

Dr. RG Kar, a junior doctor at a local hospital, passed away earlier this month. The funeral was carried out swiftly, raising questions about the legality and propriety of the proceedings. The FIR claims that the haste was orchestrated by the accused.

Nirmal Ghosh served as a Member of the Legislative Assembly for several terms. He has long been a prominent political figure in West Bengal, representing the area that includes Kolkata. The filing of the FIR has put his past and present political activities under scrutiny.

Police have opened an investigation into the matter. The authorities are examining whether any procedural breaches occurred in the handling of Dr. Kar’s body and whether Ghosh’s involvement violates any legal provisions.

The case has sparked debate among professionals and the public alike, with calls for a transparent inquiry and a review of the procedures governing post‑mortem arrangements for medical personnel.
