ALWAR/JAIPUR: The man suspected in the killing of male tiger ST-1 at the Sariska tiger reserve, Parsadilal Gujjar, was on Wednesday taken to the CBI's Centre for Forensic laboratory for a polygraphy test. The test will ascertain the extent to which the suspect is involved in the poisoning of the tiger.
"Parsadilal left for Delhi from Sariska in the wee hours this morning. On reaching Delhi, he was taken to the forensic laboratory at about 10.30. The tests will be done on him and in about two days we will get to know whether he was involved in he killing of the tiger," said an official.
While the state forest department has been suspecting Parsadilal of poisoning the tiger, the suspect has so far just accepted that he had chanced upon the carcass of the big cat after which he cut off the whiskers from the body in the hope of selling it later a high price. But the fact that Parsadilal had the whiskers with him has made the forest department suspect him of having killed it too.
However, the department's breakthrough in the investigation met a road block when local MLA Hem Singh Bhadana warned the officials not to harass the villagers of Kalakhet in Sariska merely on suspicion. It was at this point that the forest department decided to bring things to light with the help of a polygraphy test.
The needle of suspicion rested on Parsadilal when the forest department during initial investigation saw him behaving uncomfortably when quizzed on the killing of the tiger. Thereafter the department has been keeping a tab on him and made him yield eventually.
