A Delhi court has authorized a narco‑analysis test for a father and his son, both accused in a criminal case. The decision follows a petition filed by the prosecution seeking the test to ascertain the truth.
The Delhi High Court has granted permission for a narco‑analysis test involving two accused individuals—a father and his son—who are under investigation for alleged criminal activities. The court’s order came after the prosecution filed a petition requesting the test as a means to verify the defendants’ statements.
Narco‑analysis, also known as a drug‑induced interrogation, is a technique used by law enforcement to uncover hidden memories or truths. While controversial, the court deemed it a permissible investigative tool in this case.
Both accused parties were reportedly present during the hearing, and the court directed that the test be conducted under strict medical supervision. The prosecution has indicated that the results will be submitted to the court for further action.
Lawyers for the defense expressed concerns about the reliability of the method but acknowledged the court’s decision. The case is expected to proceed to the next stage of the investigation following the test.
