A special court in Pune has rejected the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad’s (ATS) plea seeking a polygraph, voice layer and psychological analysis tests of DRDO scientist Pradeep Kurulkar, arrested for allegedly succumbing to a honeytrap and providing confidential information to a Pakistani agent.
Special judge V.R. Kachre on Saturday (September 16) rejected the ATS’ application asking for a polygraph test.
The scientist’s defence counsel told the court that the accused could not be forced to undergo tests, arguing that the entire case was based on telephonic communication and electronic gadgets which were already with the ATS.
