Kolkata: The CBI on Tuesday again questioned a doctor of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital’s forensic department in connection with their ongoing probe into the alleged rape and murder of a medic at the facility, an officer said.

Dr Apurba Biswas, who was earlier grilled by the central agency on Monday, was asked why the post-mortem examination of the medic was conducted after sunset flouting rules.

He was also questioned about the reasons behind the “haste” in collecting samples from the seminar hall from where the body of the medic was found on August 9, he said.
