Verma remanded to judicial custody till April 30Onkar Singh in New Delhi The Central Bureau of Investigation has moved an application before the additional district and sessions judge R L Chugh asking for the court's permission to put B P Verma, former chairman of Central Board of Excise and Customs, to a polygraph test. The application would come for argument on April 19 when the bail applications of three other accused would be also heard. The judge, meanwhile, sent B P Verma, his son Siddarth Verma, Bhavna Pandey and Rajiv Kumar Sharma to judicial custody till April 30. Earlier, the CBI disclosed to the court that during his prolonged interrogation on Friday last and on Saturday morning Verma had admitted nothing. Verma denied that he had used the cell phone of Bhavna Pandey to make calls to A K Enterprises or to strike deals with anyone. He also refuted the allegations that he had helped A K Enterprises in any manner. "In view of this, we would require B P Verma to undergo a lie-detector test to prove the authenticity of his statements."
