Sedition case: Hardik undergoes voice-matching test

October 28, 2015 19:10

The Ahmedabad crime branch today conducted voice matching or 'spectrography' test on Patel quota stir leader Hardik Patel in connection with a sedition case against him.

"We conducted the voice spectrography test on Hardik Patel after he gave his consent," Assistant Commissioner of Police K N Patel told PTI.

The test was conducted at the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) at Gandhinagar against the leader, who is accused of sedition as well as waging war against the government.

The voice-matching test was needed to verify police's claim that Hardik's phone conversations revealed that he intended to wage a war against the government, police said.

Besides Hardik, five leaders of Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti -- Chirag Patel, Dinesh Patel, Ketan Patel, Alpesh Kathiria and Amrish Patel -- are accused in the case.
