The Delhi Police had sought the narco test of Aftab Poonawala, with investigators probing the case saying it was necessary since he was changing his statements and not cooperating.
Aftab Ameen Poonawala, who is accused of murdering his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar and hacking her body into pieces in a crime that has stunned the country, will be presented for a narco analysis test within five days, a court in Delhi said on Friday.
The court had allowed Delhi Police to conduct the test on Poonawala and question him for five more days in its custody a day ago.
The Delhi Police had sought the narco test of the 28-year-old, who was produced virtually, with investigators probing the case saying it was necessary since he was changing his statements and not cooperating in the probe into the brutal killing of his Shraddha Walkar.
Metropolitan Magistrate Vijayshree Rathore allowed the police to conduct the narco test, also known as the truth serum test, after noting that the accused had given his consent, Poonawala's advocate Abinash Kumar said.
