Jeweller falls to death at DRI office: 5 years on, cops seek to conduct lie detector test on 10
Sources said this was done as the investigating officer had questioned all DRI officials but failed to make a breakthrough.
Following the court's instructions, the Crime Branch had registered a case of murder against unidentified persons. Five years after the death of a jeweller, who fell from the sixth floor of the office of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), the officer investigating his death has moved an application in court to conduct a lie-detector test on 10 persons, including three superintendent-rank officers of the directorate, it is learnt.
Sources said this was done as the investigating officer had questioned all DRI officials but failed to make a breakthrough.
On April 25, 2018, Gaurav Gupta entered the DRI office with a visitor’s slip along with his father, following raids conducted by officials at his house in Shalimar Bagh. Later, he fell from the sixth floor of the office, through a narrow opening where maintenance of an AC was underway, police said. Following the court’s instructions, the Crime Branch had registered a case of murder against unidentified persons.
