Advice required on the incident occurred with a friend of mine
The complainant, my friend, is dealing in gold jewellery studded with precious stones and loose precious stones. 2-days ago a known client came to his office for some business transaction. He made my friend drink spiked juice which made him unconscious instantly. This client then did away with a substantial amount of precious stone and jewellery articles. He also took away my friends mobile phones.
My friend is at present admitted in ICU and is still recovering. On lodging police complaint, the police called the said client (burglar) to the police station for interrogation. The client(burglar) had denied of having come to my friends office that day and consequently has denied about the burglary committed by him. The police has left the burglar free and has not taken him on remand.
Kindly suggest remedial course of action.
What is the process for getting the burglar tested on a LIE-DETECTOR

Thanks for the replies.
Unfortunately he has not installed any CCTV camera.
Can't a Lie - Detector be used on the client-burglar ?

Lie-Detectors/Brain Mapping/Narco Analysis are not constitutional anymore (without consent of accused) and have no evidentiary value.
If a person runs a jewellary shop with no guards/no cameras - he's asking for this to happen.

No option but to move higher officials and then to court.

Your friend not only remained unaware of importance of installation of CCTV camras inside of his office but also did a wrong thing. Instead of offering cold drinks to a prospective buyer, your friend accepted drinks brought by an outsider meeting first time to your friend. This is very interesting aspect of the case.
Anyway, if local police is not doing anything, approach higher police officials and even then if nothing happens then take shelter of court by filing a criminal complaint but be aware that the total responsibility in that event to prove the entire crime shall rest solely upon your friend.
No person can be compelled to become a witness against himself.

Mr Makkr is absolutely correct. Burden to prove your case lies upon you. And no body has the right to compell an accused to give evidence against himself.

Thanks everyone for your replies.
Actually the said client who burgled was a know person of my friend for over 15 years. He stays in the same building where my friend stays. Further, this was not the first business transaction with him.
He was so close that he even knew many of my friends business / personal dealings.
In such a situation I suppose that even a cctv camera would not have served any purpose as he would be aware of the same and would have surely destroyed the footage on the server after the act.
