Mumbai: All six suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba members, arrested in connection with the July 11 serial blasts, are likely to be subjected to scientific tests including narco-analysis to probe their involvement in the explosions, police said.
"We may subject the suspects to scientific tests ccc," Mumbai Police Commissioner A N Roy said.
Roy said investigators are confident that those arrested are part of two separate LeT modules and want to know whether the six are involved in the serial blasts or if they know of any other module that may have been involved in the blasts.
With a limited time for police custody at their disposal, the Anti-Terrorism Squad wants to interrogate the suspects as quickly as possible and get details on the planning and execution of the blasts that killed 200 people and injured over 600, police sources said.
While scientific methods of investigation like lie- detector and brainmapping tests can be used as evidence, other tests like narco-analysis help collect valuable information, the sources said.
In case the police decide to conduct the tests, it will have to move the local court and seek its permission.
Since not many forensic laboratories have testing facilities, the ATS will also have to take prior appointment at forensic science laboratories that perform the tests, the sources said.
