CBI has conducted a polygraph test, popularly known as a lie-detector test, on the complainant and an accused in its case against the agency’s former special director Rakesh Asthana registered on October 15 last year. The agency also conducted the lie-detector test on Somesh Prasad. Manoj Prasad, who was arrested by the CBI and is now out on bail, had refused to give consent for a polygraph test. It has also recently sent a request to the UAE seeking information on Manoj and Somesh Prasad, as the alleged crime originated there according to Sana’s allegations in the FIR. However, he became a CBI complainant by October 15, 2018, and filed a case against Asthana.
