The chief judicial magistrate (CJM) has rejected the CBI application for a polygraph test of Anand Giri, Adya Prasad and his son Sandeep Tiwari, the three accused in the Mahant Narendra Giri's death case.

The application was rejected as the accused did not give their consent for the test. However, chief judicial magistrate Harendra Nath, on the request of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), extended judicial custody of the three accused till October 30, which is also the next date of hearing in the case.
