Calcutta High Court Orders Fresh Probe in 2023 Murder Case
A man was found dead at his workplace, and now the High Court is stepping in.

So, they've told a different police team, the CID, to start over and find out what really happened.

The court wants to make sure everything is done correctly to find the truth about the man's death.
