A local court gave the Anti-Terrorist Squad permission for the tests while remanding her and two others to police custody till November three, Public Prosecutor Ajay Misar told reporters in Nashik.

An application was moved by the ATS before Joint Civil Judge Senior Division A N Khadse to grant permission for polygraphy, brain mapping and narco tests on 38-year-old Pragya, he said, adding that the tests were part of the investigation.

He said that he had no idea about possibility of the two retired army officers, questioned for their role in the blasts, being produced before the court here.

"I have not received any intimation from the authorities concerned," he said. He did not reveal when Pragya will undergo polygraph, brain mapping and narco tests.
