Seer Volunteers for Narco Test to Clear Name in POCSO Allegations
In a dramatic development in a high-profile POCSO case, Swami Avimukteshwaranand has publicly declared his readiness to undergo a narco analysis test to establish the truth. The seer, embroiled in allegations of sexual abuse under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, made this bold statement as part of his defense strategy.
Questions Raised Over Child Custody Arrangements
Simultaneously, Swami Avimukteshwaranand has raised serious questions regarding the custody of the children involved in the case. He alleged that the minors are currently residing with the complainant, identified as Ashutosh Brahmachari, also known as Pandey. The seer pointedly questioned why these children have not been placed in a juvenile home, as per standard legal protocols in such sensitive matters.
This custody issue adds a complex layer to the ongoing investigation, potentially impacting the procedural aspects of the case. Legal experts note that proper custody arrangements are crucial in POCSO cases to ensure the safety and impartial handling of minor victims.
Legal and Investigative Implications of the Narco Test Offer
The offer to submit to a narco test, a forensic procedure that involves administering drugs to induce a semi-conscious state for questioning, is a significant move. While not always admissible as primary evidence in Indian courts, such tests can provide investigative leads. Swami Avimukteshwaranand's willingness suggests a strong assertion of innocence, aiming to sway public and legal opinion.
The case, unfolding in Uttar Pradesh, has attracted considerable attention due to the involvement of a religious figure and the serious nature of the charges. Authorities are now faced with evaluating the seer's request for the narco test while also addressing the custody concerns he has highlighted.
