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 on Friday and confronted with his cook Madan Gopal and caretaker of Dargah Somraj. Singh’s car was hijacked by terrorists before they entered the Pathankot IAF base on the intervening night of December 31 and January one.
The sources said bringing them face-to-face was necessary because of “conflicting statements”. While Singh had told the Punjab police he frequently visited the shrine, Somraj claimed he had seen him for the first time hours before terrorists launched the brazen attack on the Pathankot facility.
