BJP leader polygraphed in Shehla murder case

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday conducted polygraph test on Dhruv Narayan Singh, a BJP MLA from Madhya Pradesh in connection to the murder of RTI activist Shehla Masood.

After the test, Singh, who has already offered his resignation from the post of a vice-president of BJP’s Madhya Pradesh unit claimed that he is innocent and the allegations levelled against him by Zahida Parvez, the prime accused in the case, are baseless.

Sources in the agency, which has already quizzed the Bhopal legislator several times said that in polygraph test, Singh was asked more than two dozen questions related to his relationship with Masood and Parvez.

Sources in country’s premiere  investigation agency further informed that the main purpose of the test was whether Singh knew about the murder plan allegedly hatched by Parvez, an interior designer by profession.

During its probe, the CBI found  that Parvez had allegedly “very close relation” with Singh and resented his closeness with Masood, which the interior designer has penned. down in her diary.
