In a major development in the tragic case of a trainee doctor’s rape and murder at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata, the CBI is set to conduct polygraph tests on several key individuals.
This comes in the wake of the tragic Kolkata doctor rape-murder case, where polygraph tests are being used to aid the investigation.
So, what exactly is a polygraph test? Lets Find out in this video..
A polygraph test, often called a lie detector test, measures how your body responds when you answer questions. It records things like your heart rate, breathing, and how much you sweat. When you lie, your body often reacts differently than when you tell the truth. The test tries to spot these differences to see if you’re being honest or not.
Next, a ‘stim test’ is done where the person is asked to lie on purpose. The tester then checks if they can catch the lie by looking at the body’s reactions.
Well, The actual polygraph test begins when the investigator asks you a series of questions and monitors your body’s reactions. They create charts to track your heart rate, breathing, and sweat for each question. The test usually includes different types of questions to check for truthfulness.
But remember, polygraph tests aren’t always reliable. Experts say they can be wrong sometimes. Things like being stressed, nervous, or having health issues can change the results.
So, polygraph tests can give some clues, but they’re just one part of a bigger investigation.
