A Delhi court on Thursday dismissed the plea of nine JNU students in which they had claimed that they cannot be asked by Delhi Police to give their consent for lie detector test in a case related to the missing student Najeeb Ahmed.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sumit Dass summoned all the nine students to appear before it on April 6 in the case, where they will have to state if they are willing to undergo the test or not, News18.com reported.
Earlier in March, the court had reserved its order after the counsel appearing for the students submitted that the “lie detector test is unconstitutional and illegal unless it is voluntary”.
The nine students had approached the court challenging the crime branch notice seeking their presence before the magistrate for recording their statement and their willingness to undergo polygraph test.
Najeeb Ahmed, an MSc Bio Technology student, went missing from JNU on October 14, after an altercation with members of ABVP.
