to read the mind  

Answer 2

In a Narco test the subject is administered a fixed quantity of Sodium Pentothal or Sodium Amytal which puts him/her in a state of Hypnotism. Such a test is generally conducted on a suspect who is not coming out with the truth. Once put to this test he is half sleep and answers the questions truthfully. Mr Telgi was also put to this test wherein he came out with the truth and named big politicians who were the benficiaries of the Stamp Scam.

However this test can not be taken as an evidence in a court of law. But certainly it helps proceed in the right direction and collect evidence which can form the basis for prosecution in a court of law.

It is not possible for the subject to lie when administered the dose.

This test is capable of retrieving the facts/things which have been even forgotten by the subject.
