After detailed investigation, they were taken to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences for a psychoanalysis test by a panel of expert doctors.
“The test result shared by doctors mentioned that two of them were telling ‘partial truth’ regarding their role in the blast outside the Israel Embassy,” the officer said.
“We are going through the test report to find out what’s the ‘partial truth’ the accused are hiding from the police. If required, we will take the help of experts and question them again,” the officer added.
