Officials of the Crime Branch recently conducted a narco analysis test on Assistant Police Inspector Anil Behrani of the NRI police station in Navi Mumbai for his role in the Sandhya Singh murder case.

A Cyber Cell official said, “Since we have not been able to extract the exact information from Behrani, we subjected him to narco analysis test.” Sources in the Crime Branch claimed that Behrani is well versed with police strategies and seemed reluctant in sharing useful piece of information that could help the investigators. Behrani first met Singh after a robbery took place at her residence in November 2012.
Investigators started questioning Behrani on the insistence of Singh’s family, after investigation into the murder case revealed that the duo had been in touch with each other on a regular basis. When contacted, Behrani said, “I will help the investigating authorities in every possible way.”
