The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday again visited the crime spot at Kotkhai in Shimla district where a 16-year-old girl was gangraped and murdered.

The CBI, who brought the accused from Delhi last evening, took him to the forest near Kotkhai to identify the crime scene at Bankufar and gather evidence pertaining to the case. He was also taken to a nearby temple which is also considered to be linked with the crime.

He was later brought to Shimla for further investigations.
