Lie dectector test in kidnapping of minor for flesh trade: HC

The Delhi High Court directed CBI to conduct polygraph test on a couple and the accused to verify the allegation of kidnapping of their minor daughter for throwing her into flesh trade.

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday directed CBI to conduct polygraph test on a couple and the accused to verify the allegation of kidnapping of their minor daughter for throwing her into flesh trade.

Meena Devi and her husband had accused Sheela and her companion Rajendra of Budh Vihar in Sultanpuri in west Delhi of kidnapping their two-and-half year old daughter for pushing her in prostitution after some years.

The High Court suo motu took cognizance of a letter written by the parents of the victim,who is untraceable,and decided to take assistance of CBI as the facility of the lie detection test is not avialable with the Delhi Police which has registered an FIR in this regard.

“This is a serious matter. You (CBI) conduct the polygraph test as early as possible,” a Bench comprising Chief Justice A P Shah and Jagmohan said.
