Court rejects CBI plea for narco test on Jagan aide

Hyderabad, February 02: A special court here Thursday dismissed a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) petition seeking its permission for narco-analysis test on Vijay Sai Reddy, a close aide of YSR Congress party leader Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, in a case involving Jaganmohan’s alleged illegal assets.

The CBI special court refused permission for narco-analysis test on the ground that, as ruled by the Supreme Court, it could not be conducted without the consent of the accused.
