--Ushashree murder case--
BHUBANESWAR: The Sub-Divisional
Judicial Magistrate (SDJM) court here on Saturday rejected the appeal by the
Commissionerate Police for Narco test of accused ex-Army medical officer Dr
Somnath Parida, who had sliced his wife Ushashree into pieces on June 3 this
year. The court had reserved the verdict on July 18 after hearing the appeal by
the police.
Following the lie detection test of
Parida, police had applied for Narco test of the accused on July 12, but the
lawyer of the accused was not in the favour of the test. He had also requested
the court not to allow Narco test on Parida on health ground of his client.
The lawyer had argued that the
condition of the accused doctor was not well and Narco test for an elderly man
of 72-years old may cause damage to Parida’s life. He had urged the court not
to give permission to the police to conduct the test on the accused.
“Dr Parida is suffering from heart,
cardiac, hypertension and diabetics related problems for which he is taking
insulin three times a day. So I had appealed to the court not to allow the
police to conduct Narco test on Parida,” said accused Parida’s lawyer Ashok
Raj.
As the court rejected the plea of
the police, the Commissionerate Police would conduct brain mapping of the
accused Parida, said Bhubaneswar DCP.
