The names of some of the beneficiaries of the North Bengal lobby's largesse have appeared in mainstream media recently; they include Avik De, Birupaksha Biswas, Susanta Roy and Suhrita Paul.

At least 46 threat complaints were filed by junior doctors against Dr Birupaksha Biswas, Dr Avik De and Dr Ranjit Saha, who were close to Ghosh, following which an FIR was filed against them.
