<h1>Probe considers polygraph for suspects after alleged large cash bribe and ministerial post offer to induce MLA switch</h1> The state economic offences unit is investigating alleged horse-trading linked to a 2024 trust vote and is considering administering lie-detection tests to some suspects after several provided unsatisfactory answers during questioning. The probe, triggered by an FIR alleging an offer of a large cash bribe and a ministerial post to induce an MLA to switch sides, has involved both former and sitting legislators. Use of polygraph testing is being explored as an investigative aid; such tests are often treated as non-conclusive and can have limited admissibility or evidentiary weight under applicable procedural and constitutional principles.
