Suspects want to know why Dr Malini was dismissed in the hope that their narco tests are nullified
The Forensic Science Laboratory has received 30 Right to Information applications after Dr Malini's dismissal, from suspects who underwent the narco test.
FSL director Dr L Mohan said they were now waiting to get the DGP's permission to go ahead with the formalities.
Majority of the applications have come from suspects in jail through the advocates. The RTI applicants want to know on what ground Dr Malini was dismissed from her post in the hope that the information disproves their narco report and weakens their case, sources said.
