Now,CBI wants polygraph test on arrested UDD men

The trio,who have been in police custody since,were sent to two more days’ CBI custody on Monday. CBI official claim they are closely involved in the offence,but a clear chain of actions is missing. “Even after subjecting them to intense questioning for over a week,they have not revealed the names of any other people involved in the case. A polygraph test will help us build a case against them and also unearth the involvement of other people,” said a CBI official.

While seeking their custody,the CBI also said a hard disk had gone missing from one of the nine computers seized after the accused identified the computers used in Mantralaya for preparing various notings and correspondence relating to Adarsh. The hard disks are to be sent for forensic analysis. “Investigations are trying to find the hard disks or a back-up of the missing hard disk,” said CBI counsel A A Ansari.

The CBI also tried to correlate a file reported missing from the Ministry of Environment and Forests in New Delhi with this case. “To unearth the conspiracy,further custodial interrogation is necessary,” Ansari argued.

Meanwhile,the CBI also questioned senior IAS officer T C Benjamin,now Principal Secretary (UDD). The CBI has also summoned Senthil Vel,director of MoEF,to be present in its office for questioning this week.
