KOLKATA: A 2017 report published by the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post about an Indian orthopaedic surgeon identified as Sandip Ghosh being accused of inappropriately touching a male student nurse there went viral Monday. It is unclear if the report was referring to RG Kar hospital's ex-principal. The West Bengal Orthopaedic Association said it was "looking into the report".

Some members said they knew of Ghosh facing a "legal issue" during one of his trips aboard. According to the report, the orthopaedic surgeon allegedly patted the complainant's hip and tried to touch his private parts.The visiting doctor then allegedly asked the male student nurse, "Do you like it?" The report states that the doctor attributed the complaint against him to a misunderstanding, saying he touched the nurse's hip by accident while demonstrating how a dislocated shoulder could be fixed.
