Mumbai: Police To Use "Truth Serum" On Mumbai Terrorist
No nicey nice when it comes to India's interrogating techniques.
Police interrogators in Mumbai told The Times that they are poised to settle the matter of Kasab's nationality through the use of narcoanalysis" – a controversial technique, banned in most democracies, where the subject is injected with a truth serum.The method was widely used by Western intelligence agencies during the Cold War, before it emerged that the drugs used – typically the barbiturate sodium pentothal – may induce hallucinations, delusions and psychotic manifestations
Mumbai police said that their evidence of a Pakistan link includes hand grenades manufactured in the city of Rawalpindi, in Pakistan, and satellite phone calls traced back to the country.
Deven Bharti, a deputy police commissioner in Mumbai and one of the interrogators, told The Times that Kasab had shown no remorse for his part in a terror attack that had killed nearly 200 people.
"He is a 24-year-old boy with the eyes of a killer," Mr Bharti said.
Indeed, he is a bastage.
