Indrani says she is ready to face lie-detector test

MUMBAI: Indrani Mukerjea, the prime accused in the Sheena Bora murder case, told a special CBI court here on Wednesday that she was ready to undergo a lie-detector test. She submitted a handwritten application before special judge J C Jagdale, conveying her willingness to undergo a polygraph (commonly known as lie detector) test. In 2015, Indrani had refused to give her consent to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to subject her to a lie-detector test. According to the law, an accused cannot be made to undergo such tests without his or her consent. "In October 2015, I had not given consent... because I was under tremendous pressure not to undergo the test," she said in the application.
