Pune’s doctor death consents to psychoanalysis tests

Santosh Pol, dubbed as Dr Death, for killing six people, including five women from 2013 to 2016, on Thursday gave his consent for undergoing a narco-analysis and lie detector test in the court. The Wai police had asked the court permission to conduct psychoanalysis tests on Pol.

Following his consent, the court sent him to magistrate custody Thursday onwards. “First we will do the brain-mapping tests. If we fail to get the information we require, then we will proceed with a narco-analysis test,” said Sandip Patil, superintendent of police, Satara.

Trupti Sonawane, assistant police inspector, Wai, police, said “Today was the last day of police custody of Pol in connection with the murder of Vanita Gaikwad who was killed by him on August 12, 2006. Earlier, he claimed that he had thrown her body into the Krishna. Later, during an investigation, he confessed that he has buried her body in his house at Dhome, Wai. The police exhumed her body.”

The police has got his custody for one more day in connection with the ambulance he had allegedly stolen. The ambulance belonged to Dr Vidyadhar Ghotawadekar.
