He furr said that next step would be to "access as well as reveal confined information in  narco test". steps of se tests involve taking consent from subjects first followed by a pre-test interview. Once polygraph test is done, subjects will undergo a medical examination following which narco test is conducted after y receive a fitness certificate. 

Former Delhi Police commissioner S N Shrivastava told PTI that investigators are dependent on confession of accused as most of evidence has been cleared in last six months. "It is going to be a very difficult case and will require help of all organs of criminal justice system to nail him down. Police will get what it can, but court will also have to understand situation and act accordingly," he told.
