Pakistani terrorist to undergo lie detector test today

August 18, 2015 08:28

Captured Pakistani terrorist Mohammed Naved Yakub will be subjected to a polygraph test today to nail the misleading statements he has made over the past 10 days about his Indian contacts and the route taken to infiltrate Jammu and Kashmir.

The DNA and voice samples of the alleged LeT operative, who was overpowered by the locals following the attack on a BSF bus in Udhampur district of Jammu on August five that left its two personnel dead, will also be obtained by the National Investigation Agency.

NIA sources said collecting the DNA samples of the militant from Faislabad in Pakistan could help in proving his nationality. Islamabad has been insisting that Naved is not a Pakistani national.

Naved was produced before District Judge Amar Nath, who after holding in-camera proceedings, ordered the lie detector test to be performed at 11 am tomorrow at the Central Forensic Science Laboratory in CGO complex. Earlier, the militant gave his written consent for the test, writing in Urdu.

Before being brought from Jammu last weekend, Naved, in his 20s, was confronted with other militants from Faislabad lodged in various jails and his interrogators concluded he was not lying about where he hailed from.
