Surendra's narco-analysis complete, Moninder hospitalised again

Gandhinagar, Jan 8 (UNI) The narco-analysis examination of Surendra Koli, one of the prime accused in the Nithari serial killings, was completed here today, even as the other accused Moninder Singh Pandher skipped the test after he was re-admitted to hospital with high-blood sugar levels.

Pandher will remain under observation at the Civil Hospital tonight before his narco analysis is carried out tomorrow. His brain-mapping and Polygraph tests were completed today and only the narco-analysis is left, Directorate of Forensic Science (DFS) Director J M Vyas said.

''Moninder's narco test will be done tomorrow. But I cannot confirm how much time it will take because it depends on his responses and behaviour,'' Dr Vyas said.

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

Meanwhile, the polygraph tests, brain-mapping and narco analysis of Surendra was completed and Dr Vyas expressed satisfaction with his responses.

''Surendra was cooperative during the narco-tests. We have got lots of data which has to be put in sequence and analysed, which may take some time,'' Dr Vyas said.

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

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

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