Ahmedabad: The nine Pakistani nationals who
were arrested by the Border Security Force (BSF) early this
week are likely to undergo lie detector (polygraph) and narco
analysis test, police said on Friday.
"The interrogation of the nine men is on at the Joint
Interrogation Centre (JIC) by various intelligence agencies.
Since not much information is coming out, we would also go for
lie detection and Narco test," Kutch Superintendent of Police
Wabang Jamir told agency.
"The final decision for conducting the tests will be
taken only after the interrogation is complete," he said.
Jamir said that they would go step by step and first
conduct the lie detection test and if needed would go for the
narco analysis test.
The nine persons belong to a place called Thatta in Sindh
province of Pakistan. While six are from the same family,
three others are also related to each other.
BSF officials had apprehended the nine men at the Creek
area in the western part of Kutch and seized their boat on
Monday foiling their bid to infiltrate into India.
The operation was carried out following intelligence
report that some people from Pakistan were planning to intrude
into the country.
