Bar scam: Court directs bar owners to inform decision on lie detector test

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Thiruvananthapuram Vigilance Court directed the bar owners to inform their decision in undergoing a lie detector test in the bar scam case by May 16. The court directed bar hotel association president Rajkumar Unni, secretary M D Dhanesh and Krishnadas Polakkulam to inform their decision. The bar owners sought two months’ time when the case was considered today. However, the court did not approve it.

Meantime, the vigilance requested the court to subject Ambili, driver of Biju Ramesh, for a lie detector test. Following that, the court asked Ambili to appear in court on May 11 and inform his stand.

Ambili had earlier given statement to the vigilance that it was he who handed over Rs 35 lakh from the one crore bribe to Finance Minister K M Mani at his house.
