Pune, Dec 05: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the multi-crore fake stamp paper scam has urged a special court here for permission to conduct lie detector, P300 brain fingerprinting and narcoanalysis tests on nine accused, including prime accused Abdul Karim Telgi.
The SIT has also urged the court to allow them obtain voice samples of seven accused including Abdul Karim Telgi, his brother Azim Telgi, police inspector Dattatraya Dal,
Telgi's lawyer Rashid Kulkarni, assistant police inspector Dilip Kamath, Anil Gote, MLA, and Manoj Mehta.
The accused had spoken to Telgi on telephone and Karnataka government had intercepted talks between them in which incriminating material had surfaced. Their voice samples would be obtained to compare them with the ones figuring in the recorded telephonic talks, prosecutors Raja Thakre and A Chimalkar said.
The prosecutors also sought permission of the court to allow lie detector, P300 brain fingerprinting and narcoanalysis tests for nine accused to ascertain the truth and their involvement in the conspiracy.
Besides Telgi, the other accused whose tests are being sought are Azim Telgi, Anil Shah, Manoj Mehta, Rajendra Reddy, Anil Gote, MLA, advocate Rashid Kulkarni and policemen Dattatraya Dal and Dilip Kamath.
The court has given notices to the accused to seek their reply and deferred till December 09 the hearing of SIT plea to conduct tests and obtain voice samples.
In a related development, Karnataka government is considering the plea of Maharashtra government to hand over the custody of Telgi who is languishing in Bangalore jail, SIT sources said.
According to SIT, they have in their possession cassettes of 1300 telephonic talks between Telgi and others which reveal sensitive information including bribe paid to policemen to hush up cases registered against the prime accused.
The talks were recorded when Telgi was in a Bangalore jail. Telgi had managed to smuggle a cell phone inside the jail and used it to communicate with various persons about his business and personal matters, SIT sources said.
SIT had already conducted P300 brain fingerprinting test on two persons and the results were awaited. These two persons apparently had knowledge about Telgi's activities but they have not been implicated as accused nor made witnesses in the case. A decision on their status would be taken at an appropriate stage, the sources said.
In narcoanalysis test, drugs are administered to the accused and they induce him to tell the truth. But the drugs have to be given with the permission of the accused, the sources said. Bureau Report
