After Supreme Courts order banning narco analysis or brain-mapping of the accused for interrogation, the police try some novel methods.
The search for effective aids to interrogate is probably as old as man's need to obtain information from uncooperative sources. Narco-analysis is one such tool of investigation to help the police.
The Supreme Court has ruled that forcing someone to go through brain-mapping, narco-analysis or lie detector tests is unconstitutional because "it is an unwarranted intrusion on the individual's rights."

Sister Sephy, the third accused in the Sister Abhaya murder case, filed a petition before the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Court today seeking an inquiry into how the narco-analysis cds were leaked to the media.
ABHAYA MURDER CASE The Sister Abhaya Case is a case regarding the death of a Knanaya Roman Catholic nun, who was found dead in a water well in St Pius X convent in Kottayam, India, on 27 March 1992. She was 19 years old at the time of her death and was a member of St. Joseph's Congregation for women under the Knanaya Catholic diocese of Kottayam, Kerala in India. She was also a pre-degree student of BCM College, Kottayam and was staying in St Pius X Convent/Hostel at the time of her death. On the day of her death she got up from sleep early at around 4 am to study for her exam, had gone down to the kitchen of the hostel to get water from the fridge. Later her body was found in the well outside the kitchen in the convent/hostel compound. Initial investigations in the case by the local police and crime branch led to the conclusion as a case of suicide. Protests by the action council and a petition by the nuns of the congregation led to reinvestigation by the CBI. Though CBI concluded that Abhaya was murdered,they requested closure of the case for want of evidence.The request for closure was rejected by the courts. It was only after 16 years that they made the first arrests in the case. On 19 November 2008, two priests of the Kottayam Knanaya Catholic Diocese and a nun were arrested by the CBI. These arrests are considered as part of conclusions to a 16 year old unresolved case. The case assumes importance in India's judicial and law enforcement history on various counts. It ...
