	Narco Doctor's Secrets By Sunetra Chaudhary/Maya Sharma NDTV February 28, 2009 http://www.ndtv.com/convergence/ndtv/story.aspx?id=NEWEN20090085062&ch=2/28/2009%2012:27:00%20AM What does a forensic scientist have to do with politics? Apparently, quite a lot if she deals with politically sensitive cases. When Dr S Malini coaxed a confession out of stamp scam accused Abdul Karim Telgi, CBI officials dismissed it as unreliable. Five years later, the same methods helped the CBI nail 3 domestic helps in the Aarushi murder case. Dr S Malini says: "The CBI has never complained about me, these are baseless allegations, they have filed 164 reports on basis of my tests." But NDTV has learnt that in August last year, the CBI team probing the sister Abhaya murder told the court that Dr Malini's video CD of the narcoanalysis test was made at 6.20 am. So it was made at her home and not at the laboratory. The CBI also said they received a tampered CD instead of 3 original CDs. Based on this, a Kerala High Court judge said: "I have no doubt that the edited and manipulated CDs and report on Narco Analysis by Dr Malini may mislead the investigation." While one branch of the CBI complained about Dr Malini, the other used her report to charge 3 men for 14-year old Aarushi's murder. Now it appears, the CBI may have lost its biggest lead. Sources tell NDTV that after a narco test on one of the accused, Krishna, Dr Malini said he hadn't revealed anything. But after senior CBI officials landed in Bangalore that very evening the alleged confessions emerged. Were these the result of leading questions? The truth lies in the narco test tapes.
