Facing criticism for illegally detaining Krishna, the compounder of dentist Rajesh Talwar, the CBI on Wednesday justified the narco-analysis on him.
NEW DELHI: Facing criticism for illegally detaining Krishna, the compounder of dentist Rajesh Talwar, the CBI on Wednesday justified the narco-analysis on him in Aarushi murder case saying it was done to ascertain contradictions, if any, in his statements.
"...Krishna alias Kishan has been examined to verify his statements given before Noida police. To verify contradictions appearing in his statement, he was subjected to polygraph (lie) detector test on June nine and 10", CBI Joint Director Arun Kumar told mediapersons reading out from a prepared statement.
"To further rule out contradictions appearing in his statement, he has been sent to Forensic Science Laboratory in Bangalore for further scientific tests," Kumar said.
To a question whether the CBI had taken permission of a court before conducting the narco-analysis test, he said "Scientific tests are being conducted with his (Krishna) permission and as per provisions of law."
The FSL Bangalore had initially refused to conduct the tests sans any court order but the matter seemed to have been resolved after intervention by the highest level in the CBI.
Sources said Krishna had been detained for the last five days and was allowed to go out only for a brief period. As per law, no one can be detained for more than 24 hours without court's permission.
According to the sources in the agency, Krishna had been questioned for long about his involvement in the alleged murder despite statements from his family members that he was in his quarters the day the murders took place.
They claimed that Krishna had been missing from the house since June three. The CBI took over the investigations on June one.
The agency, on the other hand, claims that Krishna's finger prints were present at the scene of crime.
The CBI had also detained one Raju, a distant relation of Hemraj, while questioned Vishnu, the former domestic help of Talwar's.
The investigation into the case does not seem to be heading towards any logical conclusion and the CBI, which had boasted of solving the twin murder mystery soon, seem to be meeting a dead-end at every angle related to the case, officials associated with the probe said.
The CBI began investigations into the case on June one.
