A Delhi court has given its nod on a plea filed by the police to conduct a polygraph test on three "suspects" in the Sunanda Pushkar murder case. The three "suspects" have said they are willing to undergo the polygraph tests.


The Delhi Police submitted before Metropolitan Magistrate Sunil Kumar Sharma that Shashi Tharoors domestic help Narain Singh, driver Bajrangi and friend Sanjay Dewan were concealing material facts about Sunandas mysterious death on January 17, 2014, hence they should be subjected to polygraph test.

Citing specific instances to claim that they are lying, the police told the court that the three were Tharoors close associates and were in present at Hotel Leela Palace just before Sunandas death.


"During investigation, it has been found that the three persons are concealing material facts and did not disclose several issues related to the death of Sunanda Pushkar," the plea filed by SHO of Sarojini Nagar Police Station said.

It said that on January 17, Tharoor's close friend Sanjay Dewan came to the hotel at 5 pm and remained there till the discovery of Pushkar's death. He could not give plausible reason for cancelling his trip to Mumbai and his coming to the hotel in Delhi, it said.


Among the other points raised by the police was his silence about a power cut in Room No 345 just before the discovery of Sunandas death and, despite being there, they failed to explain the injury marks on Sunandas body.
