The balance sheet of the business was maintained through computers. Raju knew the ID number and password and had access to these. However, the three accused did not reveal correct information on their modus operandi. Hence, scientific tests were necessary to aid in the investigation, said CBI sources.

The court has said that that any self-incriminating statement, if made by the accused, could not be used by the prosecution. The investigation officer should intimate the date and time of tests to the accused and the actual recording of the lie detector test should be done by an independent agency and in the presence of lawyers.

The cout added that full medical and effectual narration of the incident must be recorded.

Raju has not given his consent to the tests.
