CBI Issues Narco‑Analysis Notice to Urmila Sanawar in Bhandari Murder Case

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has formally issued a narco‑analysis notice to Urmila Sanawar as part of its probe into the Bhandari case. The notice directs Sanawar to undergo a narco‑analysis procedure, a forensic technique used by Indian law‑enforcement agencies to obtain information from suspects under the influence of a drug. The CBI has not disclosed further details about the case or the role of Sanawar, stating that the investigation is ongoing. Narco‑analysis remains a controversial tool, but it is permitted under Indian law when deemed necessary for the investigation. The agency has indicated that it will follow up on the findings as part of its broader effort to resolve the case.
