The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Tuesday filed an application with the Pune sessions court, requesting permission to conduct a polygraph test on Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) scientist Pradeep Kurulkar who was arrested on charges of sharing confidential information with a Pakistani intelligence operative (PIO) after allegedly being honey-trapped.
Sources within the ATS have indicated that Kurulkar and the PIO woman have deleted several chats containing crucial details, which the forensic science laboratory team is currently working to retrieve. “Certain data has been recovered, indicating the exchange of highly sensitive information, and there are certain facts that Kurulkar has not disclosed. Therefore, we are seeking the assistance of a scientific test to obtain further details,” shared an ATS officer.
