AP HC posts hearing to conduct lie detector tests on Ramalinga Raju

HYDERABAD: The Andhra Pradesh High Court has posted a petition filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation to conduct scientific tests on the founder of Satyam Computers B Ramalinga Raju, his brother B Rama Raju, and S Vadlamani for further hearing on Wednesday.

The case is being heard by a division bench comprising of two judges.

The apex investigation body wanted the three to undergo a lie detector and polygraph test as the trio refused to divulge any crucial information when questioned by the sleuths. Raju, his brother, Vadlamani and six others have been charged for fudging Satyam���s books to perpetrate a Rs 7,000 crore financial fraud.

Raju, who was lodged in the Chanchalguda jail, is now undergoing medical treatment at the Nizam���s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) for heart and liver ailments. He has challenged the validity of the lie-detector and polygraph test.
