Brain Mapping Nabs Professor Bharat Bhushan Goyal for Wife's Murder After 4 Years
- •Professor Bharat Bhushan Goyal arrested for his wife Seema Goyal's murder after 1460 days.
- •His arrest followed a brain mapping (BEOS) test that indicated "experiential knowledge" of the crime.
- •The murder occurred on November 4, 2021, at their Punjab University campus residence, initially lacking evidence.
- •Traditional methods like narco and polygraph were inconclusive or not possible, making BEOS a breakthrough.
- •The Supreme Court views brain mapping as material evidence, but not solely sufficient for conviction, especially for capital punishment.
Why It Matters: Brain mapping technology's controversial use solved a cold murder case.
