Dr. Chandramouli Jha, an ex-RG Kar student seeking a PG from Kolkata, protested against Dr. Ghosh in 2021. “We protested corruption and poor hostel facilities, even going on a hunger strike. But our protest was quickly shut down. Dr. Ghosh had my registration canceled, and I had to go to court to get it back. There is a threat syndicate at RG Kar.
