Chandigarh, May 23

The UT police have now moved an application in a local court to get the narco-analysis test of former scribe Sanjeev Mahajan conducted in the Surjit Singh murder case. Mahajan, meanwhile, was produced in the court today and sent to judicial custody.

A police official said they had information following which they wanted to get the narco-analysis test conducted.

Earlier, Mahajan had moved an application for his lie-detector and narco-analysis tests, which was rejected by the court.

Surjit, a bouncer-turned-financier, was gunned down by two motorcycle-borne miscreants near his house in Sector 38 (West) in March last year. He was returning home in his car and stopped at a traffic light when the assailants, wearing helmets, arrived there and opened fire at him.

Mahajan, an associate of Surjit, was remanded in police custody after Surjit’s wife Meenakshi gave a statement to the police on April 25 that Mahajan’s role in the murder could not be ruled out.

The late Surjit was also named as one of the accused in the property grab case registered against nine persons, including Mahajan, in March this year. — TNS
