Surendra, Pandher likely to undergo narco-analysis today

Gandhinagar, Jan 8 (UNI) Moninder Singh Pandher and Surendra, the prime accused in the Nithari serial killings, are likely to undergo narco-analysis examination here today.

Pandher, who was admitted to the civil hospital here last night after he complained of chest pain and breathlessness, was discharged and has been brought to the Directorate of Forensic Science (DFS), where the tests on the duo will be conducted.

''Pandher is being subjected to preliminary tests...his condition is better,'' DFS Director J M Vyas said.

Hospital sources said his blood pressure and blood sugar levels had shot up but later said he was stable.

Pandher and Surendra had yesterday undergone brain-mapping and lie detector tests at the DFS.

Both polygraph (lie-detection) and brain-mapping tests were done on Pandher yesterday after biometric tests were done on Saturday.

The accused were taken to Civil Hospital here on Saturday where blood and urine samples of the duo were taken apart from ECG, X-ray of chest and abdomen.

The duo, brought here on January 5 for the tests, are allegedly involved in murdering 30 children at Nithari, a village in Noida township of Uttar Pradesh and the tests are part of the investigations.

Of the 30 children, killed over a period of two-year, 17 skeletal remains have been unearthed so far.
