The RCL has recently responded to the WBMC through an email assuring to verify the FRCS certificate of Dr Sen as soon as possible.

Manas Chakraborty, registrar of the state medical council, told The Statesman on Saturday: "We are expecting that the RCL would send us the verification report by Monday. Hardly, 10 days ago we had mailed to the RCL seeking to know whether Dr Sen's FRCS certificate issued by it is authentic or not."

"The RCL authorities informed us through an email that their office remained closed because of Christmas holidays till 6 January. The state medical council may either cancel Dr Sen's medical registration or ask him not to use the fellowship beside his name in his letterhead pad or other official papers if his FRCS certificate is not authentic," Mr Chakraborty said.
