Police may approach court seeking lie detector test on Tharoor

June 30, 2015 21:31

Investigators probing the mysterious death of Sunanda Pushkar may move a local court seeking lie detector test on her husband and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor.

Six persons including three "prime witnesses" in the case were already put through lie detector (polygraph) test and sources indicated that the police may go for carrying out the test on Tharoor. When asked about it, Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi said, he was not aware of any such move, but said it was upto the investigating officer to do what he deemed fit.

As per the procedure, the prosecution will have to move a plea before the court seeking permission to carry out the test and it will depend on whether Tharoor gives his consent for it or not.

Last month, the Delhi police had approached a city court for permission to carry out lie detector test on Narain Singh, who is domestic help of Sunanda's husband and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, driver Bajrangi and family friend Sanjay Dewan.
