Biswas was summoned a day after the special court in Kolkata extended the CBI custody of former officer in-charge of Tala police station Abhijit Mondal.
Mr Biswas claimed to the media that he had indeed gone to the R G Kar hospital on that day but was not present at the seminar hall.
Similarly, Avik Dey, who too was a PGT at SSKM, was seen in the alleged assembly at the seminar hall, whom the Kolkata Police had claimed to be a fingerprint expert, which was contested by the state branch of Indian Medical Association.
Biswas was suspended by the West Bengal Medical Council on 7 September, along with two other doctors, the erstwhile resident medical officer of the radiodiagnosis department of Burdwan Medical College Avik De and junior doctor of Midnapore Medical College & Hospital Mustafizur Rahaman Mallick.
While the central agency interrogated Birupakhsa Biswas in the morning, interrogation of Dey continued late in the evening.
