Out with it!

A popular news channel was airing exclusively the narco test videos of the suspects arrested in the Aarushi murder case, accessed by the channel. Narco tests, as per my knowledge, employs a truth serum which prompts you to reveal the hidden facts stored in your sub-conscious. It was painful to watch as the suspects were talking in a semi-conscious state and repeatedly denying the chances of their involvement in murdering Aarushi. but what was shocking was the way the interrogators tried to force out an admission from them and even went to the extent of prompting them the lines that they should speak out. Hazard this...Interrogators: "Speak out that you killed Aarushi. Say it. Say it that you have killed Aarushi" Pathtic. It was a good thing that nobody gave in to their demands. No I am not defending the criminal of the perpetrators but simply trying to lend some humanity to the whole process. yes of course You can argue that criminals or suspects of such nature must be handled in a dexterous way. True but watching it on the screen was painful indeed. At the end nobody owned up and thus the process is delayed. Note that tests have confirmed that Narco tests are not fool-proof(I recollect reading it somewhere). I dont remember distinctly whether Dr Talwar also underwent such tests or not. But impartially he should also have been conducted the test upon.
