An application filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conduct a narco analysis test on Sanjay Roy, the arrested accused in the RG Kar MCH rape and murder case, was rejected by a Kolkata court on Friday. Roy refused to give his consent for the test in the court, sources said.
The central probe agency had appealed to the city-based Sealdah court, seeking permission to conduct the test on Roy. The court stated that the consent of the accused is mandatory for the test citing the 2010 Karnataka HC judgement.
As per sources, Roy had earlier agreed to the narco test in front of the CBI probe team but refused before the magistrate.
An officer told PTI earlier that the narco-analysis test would help the probe team verify the accused’s version of events.
Narco Analysis Test
During a narco analysis test, the drug – sodium pentothal – is injected into the body of the subject, which takes him to a hypnotic state, and his imagination is neutralised, the CBI officer said.
The CBI has already conducted a polygraph test on Roy inside the Presidency Correctional Home.
