Kolkata: In a significant development in the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College on Tuesday, it has been reported that the Central Bureau of Investigation will consult experts from the All India Institute of Medical Science on the DNA and forensic reports to ascertain the involvement of other suspects in the gruesome act. Notably, the CBI will send the reports to AIIMS to seek their opinion in the case in order to build a watertight case.
