Prof Goyal remembers assault, court told
Chandigarh, March 25 -- Citing a Brain Electrical Oscillation Signature (BEOS) test report, police on Tuesday informed a local court that Prof BB Goyal of Panjab University, who is in jail and undergoing trial for the murder of his wife Seema Goyal, was directly involved in the crime.

The probe mentioned that he remembered putting a cloth into his wife's mouth, fabricating the crime scene and even passing stool and not flushing it at the crime scene which was corroborated by the crime scene photograph.
The report also stated that he remembered cutting the wire mesh himself, which the police had suspected to have been cut from the inside to show entry by an outsider. He also remembered disposing of evidence, such as his phone, front door key and the tool used to cut the wiremesh. The same test concluded that his daughter Parul had no involvement in the crime.
