“सूत्रों के मुताबिक हिरासत के दौरान सिया ने पुलिस को पॉलीग्राफ टेस्ट की इजाजत भी दे दी है।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Multiple independent news outlets reported on the broadcast date (July 2, 2026) that Siya Goyal, in police custody in the Ketan Agarwal murder case, gave her consent to the Lonavala Rural Police for a polygraph test, as confirmed by her lawyer. Under Indian law (Selvi v. State of Karnataka, 2010) such consent is required, and police filed a court application to conduct the test. The anchor's sourced claim matches contemporaneous reporting; court permission was still pending, but the claim only asserts consent, which is corroborated.
