NEW DELHI: Senior Punjab Police officer Salwinder Singh, who is being questioned by NIA in connection with Pathankot terror attack probe, will undergo a lie detector test next week after he gave consent for it.

Home Ministry sources said Singh, who is at present posted as Assistant Commandant with 75th battalion of Punjab Armed Police, was questioned for the fifth consecutive day today and confronted with his cook Madan Gopal and caretaker of Dargah Somraj.

Singh, shunted barely few days before the January one-two terror strike as Superintendent of Police (headquarters) of Gurdaspur and facing alleged charges of breach of discipline, has in-principle given his consent for a polygraph test, the sources said.

The NIA, which has been probing the case, will move an application before a designated court here tomorrow seeking permission for conducting a polygraph test on Singh, who has been allegedly changing his statements quite frequently, the sources said. (AGENCIES)
