Imran Khan refuses to undergo polygraph, voice matching tests

Former prime minister Imran Khan has refused to undergo polygraph, voice matching, and photogrammetry tests as Lahore police asked him different questions during its investigations into the May 9 incident cases.

“I am under investigation by many institutions and will not take any tests for now. I will give the police time later regarding different tests,” he said while refusing the Punjab Forensic Science Agency experts for aforementioned tests.

The first phase of the investigation by the Lahore police against Khan has been completed.

The investigative team led by DSP Javed Asif visited Adiala Jail where the former prime minister is detained. Initially, the PTI chairman refused to answer the questions, expressing a lack of trust in the police.

DSP Javed Asif then appealed to Khan, assuring him that police would ensure justice. After this assurance, the PTI founder answered the police’s questions for about 15 minutes.

The development comes as the authorities continue their investigation into the events of May 9, when violent protests erupted across the country following the PTI founder’s arrest.

Khan has been imprisoned at the Adiala Jail for almost a year, facing convictions in four cases, including two Toshakhana references, the cipher case, and the Iddat case, in which his wife, Bushra Bibi, is also jailed.
