Malegaon blasts case: Sadhvi to undergo narco-analysis tests

MUMBAI: Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, a prime accused in the Malegaon blast, will undergo narco-analysis tests on Tuesday at a hospital in south Mumbai, an ATS official said.

The sadhvi was taken this morning to the Nagpada police hospital for her narco-analysis tests which will continue throughout the day, the official said.

She was earlier subjected to brain mapping and polygraph tests last week at Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in suburban Santacruz.

The sadhvi and two other accused, Shivnarayan Singh Kalsangram and Shyam Bhawarlal Sahu, were yesterday remanded to judicial custody till November 17 by a Nashik court.

The ATS had arrested three more persons in connection with the blasts - Ajay Rahirkar, Jagdish Mhatre and Rakesh Dhawade - who were remanded to police custody till November 10 by the Nashik court.

The sadhvi was arrested after the bike used in the Malegaon blasts was found to be hers.
