Accused pass lie test in badaun case

New Delhi: In a fresh twist to the alleged rape-murder of two girls in Badaun, in UP, five arrested accused passed lie-detection and psychological tests by forensic experts. The experts didn’t find any deviation from their earlier statements  claiming innocence. Experts said, “Three types of tests done on them, including polygraph tests, found their denials about the rape-murder to be ‘truthful’.

The arrested persons don’t appear to be lying,” sources said. The CBI is, however, still awaiting the results of other crucial forensic tests on evidence like the slippers of one of the girls. The probe will continue as the lie-detection and psychological test reports are not admissible as evidence in court. The five - Pappu, Awadhesh and Urvesh Yadav and  constables Chhatrapal Yadav and Sarvesh Yadav - whose  custody was taken over by CBI after it registered a case in June, claimed they were innocent on the rape, murder and  destruction of evidence charges slapped against them. The
clothes, slippers of victims, collected from family members, were sent to the Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics in Hyderabad in July.
