Polygraph Test Today

Poonawala, who is lodged in the Tihar jail, is once again undergoing a polygraph test today. Additional Director Sanjeev Gupta said one session of polygraphy test is left for which Aftab was brought today.

During the interrogation, the accused was asked more than 50 questions regarding the relationship with the deceased. At present, Aftab is lodged in Tihar Jail under judicial custody. The police have three days’ time to conduct all the tests which will help them gather information on the evidence.

Narco Test To Be Done This Week

After the polygraph test, the narco test of accused Aftab can also be done this week. According to sources, on the basis of Aftab's answers and the evidence found, the Delhi Police has prepared a long list of 70 questions for the narco test. However, the complete report of the polygraph test is yet to come. Hence, it is speculated that the narco test may take some more time.
