GRP officers and National Investigation Agency officials December 7 conducted a polygraph test on Subhash. The accused was brought to the State Forensic Science Laboratory in Rasulgarh in the morning and the polygraph test was conducted at 11.30 am, sources said.
The polygraph test was conducted after on Subhash reportedly kept changing his statement, according to sources in the Special Investigation Wing of Orissa Police, which is assisting the GRP and NIA in probing the sensitive case.
