In connection with Haridwar rape and murder case, the Haridwar police have procured permission for conducting polygraph tests on nine suspects.
State Director General of Police BS Sidhu said, “To solve the Haridwar rape and murder case, we have decided to conduct polygraph tests on nine suspects and have procured permission from the court for this on Thursday. The test will be conducted by scientists of the forensic science laboratory. This is a blind case so it will take some time to solve it.”
Sidhu said that on Wednesday, he had met the CBI director Ranjit Sinha who accepted his proposal for the use of CBI lab for testing around 100 DNA samples of suspects. According to him, the DNA sample report of the victim revealed that she was raped by one person and strangled to death by him. The picture will be clearer after DNA samples of suspects are received and examined with DNA sample of the victim.
He further said that around eight teams including Homicide Investigation Cell (HIC), Forensic Team, Special Operation Group (SOG), Special Task Force (STF) and others have been deployed to solve this case.
