The Calcutta high court on Thursday granted bail to a director of the AMRI Hospital, where over 90 people had been killed in December last year, after a fire broke out in its basement.
A division bench comprising Justices Asim Kumar Roy and Ashim Kumar Ray granted bail to AMRI Director S K Todi, who has been in custody since December 9.
Of the total 13 accused, nine directors and four employees, arrested on the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, 12 have so far been given bail.
Three other directors of the hospital are absconding.
Only one official, Sajid Hussain, remains in custody.
A fire broke out in the basement of the hospital's seven-storey, centrally air-conditioned building in the early hours of December 9.
More than 90 people, mostly patients, suffocated to death from smoke that entered the floors through AC ducts.
