Sharddha murder: Aaftab set to undergo polygraph test
A court in Delhi gave permission to the police to conduct a polygraph test on Aaftab Poonawala, who has been accused of murdering his live-in partner Shraddha Walker in Delhi. After killing Shraddha, Aaftab allegedly chopped her body into 35 pieces and disposed of it over the next 18 days.
FollowThe Delhi Police was given permission to conduct a polygraph test on Aaftab Poonawala, the accused in the Shraddha Walker murder case, as per sources. A lie detector test is another name for a polygraph. Sensitive electrodes and cardio-cuffs are applied to the test subject during this procedure. While the subject is being questioned specifically, the devices measure and record the subject's blood pressure, blood flow, pulse, respiration, breathing patterns, skin conductivity, sweat, and arm and leg movement.
When giving dishonest replies (or lying), a person's body reacts differently than when he or she is telling the truth. The investigators keep an eye on the subject's physical changes, breathing patterns, and heart rates.
