Poonawala has been kept in a separate cell and is under 24-hour CCTV surveillance. The jail superintendent has received an order from the court to produce Poonawala before FSL director Rohini on November 28, November 29 and December 5. The third battalion of Delhi Police will produce him before FSL director,” Mathur said.
According to officials at Ambedkar Hospital, where Poonawal’s narco test will be conducted, the examination is conducted only on Mondays as they conduct routine procedures on other days . In a polygraph test, a psychologist asks questions without the use of any drugs, while a narcotic test is performed under anesthesia, so the subject is unable to fully control the brain.”In both tests, the same questions are asked and then an evaluation is made based on the answers provided by the subject,” said Dr. Naveen, Nodal Officer for Narco Test, Ambedkar Hospital.
A few days earlier, the Delhi Police, along with teams from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, pumped water from a pond at Maidan Garhi in Chhatarpur area after Poonawala allegedly dumped Walkar’s severed head and some other remains there. They seized five knives from Poonawal’s flat and sent them to FSL to ascertain whether they were used in the crime.
