PU Professor Arrested After Brain Mapping in Wife's Murder Case
A professor at Panjab University was arrested for the murder of his wife, which happened four years ago.
The police used special brain and lie detector tests to figure out the truth.
The wife was found dead in their home, tied up and with injuries.
The police think the professor might be involved because there were no signs of a break-in, and his daughter said they had a big argument the day before.
The family had always suspected the professor.
The police are now trying to find the missing phone and the weapon used in the crime.
Bharat Bhushan Goyal, a Panjab University professor, was arrested for the murder of his wife, Seema Goyal, four years after the crime.
The arrest followed forensic psychological assessments, including Brain Electrical Oscillation Signature (BEOS) and polygraph tests.
Seema Goyal was found dead on November 4, 2021, bound and gagged, with signs of strangulation and no signs of a break-in.
The police suspect Goyal's involvement due to circumstantial evidence, including a lack of forced entry and conflicting statements.
The investigation will now focus on recovering the victim's missing mobile phone and the murder weapon.
