NEW DELHI: After five days of questioning, senior Punjab Police officer Salwinder Singh today underwent a lie-detector test in connection with NIA’s probe in the audacious 80-hour-long terror strike at Pathankot IAF base.
Singh, at present posted as Assistant Commandant of 75th Punjab Armed Police after being shunted out as Superintendent of Police (Headquarters) Gurdaspur, had agreed for a polygraph test after NIA informed a designated court about alleged “inconsistencies” in his statements before Punjab police and NIA.
He was being questioned by a team of experts from Central Forensic and Scientific Laboratory and the questioning will continue tomorrow, official sources said.
They said Singh was being questioned to ascertain the sequence of events that took place after he was kidnapped on the intervening night of December 31 and January 1 by terrorists of Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed. (AGENCIES)
