A designated Delhi fast-track court hearing the NEET paper leak case on Monday dismissed a plea by three accused seeking permission to voluntarily undergo lie detector tests and brain mapping.

Special Judge Ajay Gupta rejected the plea by three accused, Mangal Lal Biwal, Dinesh Biwal, and Vikas Biwal, seeking permission for a polygraph (lie-detector) test and Brain Electrical Activation Profile (BEAP) examination, also known as brain mapping.

The plea sought the court's permission as the accused wanted to "demonstrate their bona fides" and assist the agency to conduct a "fair and transparent investigation."

A reasoned order is awaited.

The court meanwhile adjourned to August 12 its order on taking cognisance of the CBI's chargesheet against the 13 accused in the case.
