However, two days after the incident, when questions arose regarding the former principal of the medical college, Sandeep Ghosh, he said that his reputation was being tarnished. He stated, "This girl is like my daughter. As a parent, I am resigning; I tried to save her." Due to the fear of defamation and declaring the victim like his daughter, Sandeep Ghosh was interrogated by the CBI for six consecutive days.
