== Controversies ==
On 20 December 2018, a Kolkata metropolitan magistrate issued an arrest warrant against Pradip Tondon, the CEO of Belle Vue hospital. The warrant was issued as a result of the wife of a patient- who had died while undergoing treatment in Belle Vue Clinic- moving the West Bengal Medical Council against four doctors besides lodging a criminal case against those four doctors and also the hospital CEO. She alleged that her husband Sanjay Poddar, 51, had died on 7 September 2016, owing to medical negligence on part of the Hospital.<ref name="timesofindia">{{cite web|title=Arrest warrant against CEO of private hospital|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/arrest-warrant-against-ceo-of-private-hospital/articleshow/67201175.cms?from=mdr|date=22 December 2018|website=timesofindia.indiatimes.com|publisher=timesofindia|accessdate=22 December 2018}}</ref>
