High Court Asks Parents to Justify Crime Scene Visit
A doctor's parents want to visit where their daughter was killed, but the court wants to know why.
The daughter was raped and murdered last year at RG Kar Hospital.
The parents initially asked a lower court but were sent to higher courts.
One person was found guilty, but the state and CBI want a harsher sentence.
The parents are now trying to convince the High Court to allow them to see the crime scene, but the court wants a good reason for this visit, especially since they're not the investigators.
The court is currently reviewing the case, including an appeal for a harsher penalty for the convicted person.
Parents of the slain junior doctor seek to visit the crime scene at RG Kar Hospital.
The High Court has asked for a reason behind the request.
The crime occurred in the seminar hall of the hospital's emergency building.
A person was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment; both sides are appealing.
Allegations of evidence tampering at the crime scene emerged last year.
