The police are involved in the investigation in the case of Aftab Amin, the accused in Shraddha Walker's murder. In fact, this crime has been done so cleverly that it is a challenge for the police to collect the evidence of the incident. The accused in this murder case has confessed to the murder, but if he turns in the court, the case itself.
That is why there is a possibility of conducting a narco test to find out the truth in this incident. So does a narco test make even a brutal murderer tell the truth quickly? If yes, then what is the reason for Supreme Court stay on it? You must have asked this question.
Often times the perpetrators of the most heinous incidents are equally deranged. They are caught by the police, but it is not easy to prove their crime. In the absence of evidence, the court also has no option but to release the accused.
In such situations, the help of narco test is taken to solve difficult cases. In this, the accused is injected into the veins, which makes him speak out the whole truth. All this happens in a semi-unconscious state. A kind of psych in the injection under this scary test.
It contains a chemical called sodium pentothal, which, once injected into the veins, renders a person unconscious for a few minutes to a long time. It depends on the dose. After this, while awake, he tells the whole truth without hesitation in a semi-unconscious state.
This test, which seems easy to read and listen to, is very dangerous. A slight mistake can lead to death, coma or lifelong disability. Many prisoners died during interrogation in American prisons. After this, questions started to arise on this medicine.
Eventually, narco-testing was banned in almost every country. Yes, this can be done only if the court approves it in a particular case. Since this investigation is related to drugs and can be dangerous, a whole team of experts is present during this trial.
It includes anesthetists, doctors, medicine experts and psychologists as well as police officers. Also before injecting the narco the accused is medically examined so that it can be known whether he is a victim of any major disease or not.
This test cannot be done if the accused has any disease related to organ, mental or cancer. Even a minor cannot undergo a narco test. In our country, in 2010, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court, comprising Chief Justice KG Balakrishnan.
By the way, even if Aftab is indeed a murderer, it will not be easy for the police to find out the truth even after a narco test, many murder criminals can lie even on drugs. In many cases in our country, the police could not decide whether it was true or false.
