A city court on Friday allowed the Delhi Police to conduct polygraph tests on the accused involved in the parliament security breach, after five of the six accused gave their consent. Neelam Azad refused to give her consent for the polygraph test. The Delhi Police special cell, which is probing the case, had sought permission from the court to conduct a polygraph test of all the accused namely - Manoranjan D, Sagar Sharma, Amol Shinde, Neelam Azad, Lalit Jha and Mahesh Kumawat - all charged under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).

Additional Sessions Judge Hardeeep Kaur, who also extended the police custody of all the accused by eight days, allowed the investigating officer to conduct the polygraph test of Manoranjan D, Sagar Sharma, Amol Dhanraj Shinde, Lalit Jha and Mahesh Kumawat. The court passed the order after noting the consent of the accused, excluding Neelam Azad, to conduct their polygraph test.

 The judge passed the order on an application moved by police, which had sought permission to conduct the polygraph test of all the accused.

The police sought extension of custody submitting that their social media data and data from SIM cards are yet to be retrieved.

The police had registered a case on the complaint filed by the deputy director (security) of parliament. The case was registered under sections 186 (obstructing public servant from discharging public duties), 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty), 452 (house trespass after preparation for hurt assault and wrongful restraint), 153 (giving provocation with intent to cause riot), 34 (acts done by several person in furtherance of common intention) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of Indian Penal Code and under sections 16 and 18 of UAPA.
