Chennai (The Hawk): K.N. Ramajayam, the businessman brother of a senior DMK leader, was killed in Tiruchi, Tamil Nadu, in 2012. On Thursday, four suspects in the case gave their consent for a polygraph test, which marked a new development in the investigation into the murder of K.N. Ramajayam.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) that is looking into the murder case will be the one to administer the polygraph test. It had prepared a list of 13 suspects who were to be given a polygraph test, and in addition to the four suspects who were present at the time, eight of the suspects on the list had already given their consent.
