Shraddha Delhi Case : Narco test of accused Aaftab Poonawala completed | Watch all all the latest news

Aaftab Amin Poonawala, accused of killing his live-in partner, will undergo a narco analysis test at a Rohini hospital here on Thursday as part of the ongoing investigation, officials said. According to officials, Poonawala reached the Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital in Rohini at 8.40 am. Before undergoing narco analysis test, a general check up would be done to check his blood pressure, plus rate, body temperature and heart beat. If all the required parameters are met, then the accused would be taken for narco analysis test, they said.

A consent form with complete details of Poonawala and the team conducting his narco test will be read out to him as part of the procedure. After he signs the form, the narco analysis procedure would be conducted, a senior official said.

Narco analysis involves intravenous administration of a drug (such as sodium pentothal, scopolamine, and sodium amytal) that causes the person undergoing it to enter into various stages of anaesthesia.

In the hypnotic stage, the person becomes less inhibited and is more likely to divulge information, which would usually not be revealed in the conscious state.
