The Karnataka police sought permission from a court in Bengaluru on Friday to conduct a narco-analysis test on IPS officer Amrit Paul, who was arrested in connection with the PSI recruitment scam.
The memo with the request was submitted before the First Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate today.
The Magistrate ordered Paul to file his reply and adjourned the hearing until Saturday since the accused's permission is necessary for the narco test. Paul was arrested on July 4 and has been arrested by police since then.
On Wednesday, his 10-day custody was extended by three days.
The recruitment of 541 Police Sub-Inspectors has been marred by scandals after examination cheating was discovered.
The payment of bribes by several candidates, as well as the involvement of police officers, was later revealed. Paul is the most senior official arrested in connection with the fraud.
