Former Karnataka Minister and mining baron Gali Janardhan Reddy and other accused arrested in the Obulapuram Mining case might undergo brain-mapping and polygraph tests.
According to CBI Joint Director V V Laxminarayana, the agency might seek legal permission to conduct brain-mapping and polygraph tests on Gali Janardhan Reddy, if found necessary.
However, he said, besides the court's permission, Janardhan Reddy and other accused would be required to give their consent for the same.
Talking to reporters after the Special CBI Court senetenced Gali Janardhan Reddy and OMC MD B V Srinivas Reddy to a 7-day CBI custody on Tuesday, Laxminarayana appealed to the media to observe restraint until the probing agency completes its investigation into the illegal mining case.
"It will be difficult for us to provide security to witnesses and the other accused from the intervention of media and others," he said.
Laxminarayana said that the agency would question other people based on the information given by Gali Janardhan Reddy and Srinivas Reddy. (INN)
