The special CBI court here today dismissed an application filed by one of the accused seeking a copy of the result of polygraph test on former BJP MLA Dhruv Narayan Singh in RTI activist Shehla Masood murder case.
Judge Rajiv Kumar Ayachi rejected the plea.
"CBI has given a clean chit to Singh on the basis of polygraph test. So we sought a copy of the test report to know on what ground Singh has been cleared," Sunil Simbhal, the counsel of main accused Zahida Pervez, said.
Shehla was shot dead near her house in Bhopal on August 16, 2011.
Zahida has been charged with hiring killers to kill Shehla as she was jealous of Shehla's alleged close relations with the former MLA Singh.
