Sunanda Pushkar Death: Lie-detector in Sunanda case

 

The police filed its application before Metropolitan Magistrate Sunil Kumar Sharma who fixed it for consideration on May 20. In the plea, police has urged the court to initiate proceedings of polygraph test on Shashi Tharoor's domestic help Narain Singh, driver Bajrangi and friend Sanjay Dewan, saying they were hiding material facts relating to the case. 

 

During investigations, several persons including Narain, Bajrangi and Dewan were examined as they were closely associated with Tharoor and Pushkar, and were also present at Hotel Leela Palace here just before her 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, Mr 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. “He remained silent about the power cut on January 17, 2014 at about 7 pm in room no. 345 at Leela Hotel just before the discovery of the death of Sunanda Pushkar, while he was very much present in the room along with Shashi Tharoor,” the application said, adding that he did not properly reply to questions regarding the injuries on Pushkar’s body.
