RG Kar Rape-Murder: Father Appeals for Crime Scene Access
A father is asking the High Court to let his lawyers see where his daughter was murdered in a hospital.
Someone was found guilty, but the father thinks others were involved.
He wants his lawyers to check the crime scene to help the court find out if anything was missed during the first investigation.
