The latest bollywood events in Mumbai is that police on Thursday asked a court for approval to put SurajPancholi, accused of allegedly abetting his actor-girlfriend Jiah Khan's suicide, through the highly controversial narco-analysis test. The test was formerly applied to 26/11 terrorist AjmalKasab, stamp paper scam kingpin Abdul Telgi and a suspect in the infamous Kurla rape-murder case. The move has left many speculating whether Suraj's culpability is being equated with that of terrorists and big scamsters.
The police had made the application to conduct the test before the Andheri magistrate court on Tuesday. On Wednesday, a police team went to Arthur Road jail where Suraj has been lodged since he was sent to judicial custody. "The police arrived with a memo which Suraj refused and said he would not do anything without he consulting his lawyer," said a source from the Pancholi family. On Thursday, Suraj's lawyer objected, saying that his client has the fundamental right to his privacy and that Suraj had refused to give his consent.
Regional additional commissioner Vishwas Nangre-Patil confirmed the police move to conduct narco-analysis on Suraj. Senior police officers said the sequence of events leading to Jiah's death is still unclear. "We need to find out from Suraj what exactly transpired 30 minutes prior to Jiah's death on June 3. Jiah had been to Suraj's house and we have to find out what happened between them. They also had an argument on phone and had been texting each other. We need to ask Suraj questions about their troubled relationship," said an officer.
