I) Chemistry: This Division Deals With General Chemical Analysis. It Is Useful in Acid

Forensic science applies scientific methods to legal cases to help with criminal investigations. Forensic scientists visit crime scenes, analyze evidence carefully, and provide unbiased evidence in court. The main aims of forensic scientists are to establish links between crimes and suspects through techniques like analysis of biological samples, toxins, weapons, and digital evidence. Major forensic laboratories in India like DFSL and CFSL have multiple divisions utilizing technologies like DNA analysis, toxicology, ballistics, and psychology to examine different types of evidence and help solve crimes.

 What is forensic science?

Sir pointed out the forensic science established the presence


or absence of a link between the crime, the perpetrator, the victim, the place and
everything else involved. It is the application of scientific methods to legal procedures,
which ultimately helps in criminal investigation through various techniques.
 Role of forensic scientists: In order to get accurate forensic evidence, the forensic
scientist has to ensure that he visits the crime scene and coordinates with the investigation
agencies. He needs to analyse the exhibits collected from the crime scene with utmost
care. He gives evidence in the courts under Section 293 of the Criminal Procedure Code,
and thus helps in furtherance of the trial.
 Aim of forensic scientists: The main aim of the forensic scientists is to provide the
unbiased scientific evidence after conducting proper analysis using the proper techniques.
Sir emphasized that in cases of Murder, sexual offences, offences relating to the NDPS
act, etc., the forensic report becomes very important as it helps in uncovering important
aspects of the case.
 Laboratories: Now there are many forensic laboratories in the country. The question that
arises is which lab takes up the investigation of which case. Sir focused on DFSL
(Directorate of Forensic Science Laboratories) Maharashtra, and told us that it takes
samples referred by various agencies under the government of Maharashtra as well as the
central government. There are many CFSL(Central Forensic Science Laboratory) under
the DFSL. Further there are many regional RFSL too.
 Types of facilities available in these laboratories: There are multiple divisions in these
labs that deal with different scientific technologies to deal with various situations. Some
of these divisions are:
i) Chemistry: This division deals with general chemical analysis. It is useful in acid
attack cases, NDPS cases, consumer cases (to identify adulterations and all), arson
acses, etc. He also discussed the different types of technology used in this division
such as the Gas Chromatography, GC-ATD, GC-DHA, etc.
ii) Biology, serology, and DNA: This division deals with forensic biology. Samples
like semen, blood, saliva, and hair, along with DNA are analyzed and studied. It is
useful in murder, rape, assault, disputed paternity cases. This division also uses
different types of technology like blood grouping and microscopic examination.
The DNA department uses technology like PCR, and RT-PCR.
iii) Toxicology: This division primarily identifies the types of poison, and everything
related to poisoning. It helps in identifying whether the death was caused due to
homicidal poisoning, accidental poisoning, suicidal poisoning or any other. The
various exhibits in toxicology department are the biological exhibits like the liver,
stomach etc., and the non-biological exhibits like the medicine bottles, syringes etc.
iv) Ballistics: This division deals with cases that involve different types of weapons
and explosives, it helps in determining the type of weapon used in a crime and
estimates the range of firing, among others.
v) Prohibition and excise: It deals with examination of liquor, alcohol content in
blood.
vi) Physics: This department helps in the reconstruction of the crime scene; it also
analyses and examines various things like glass, soil, and metal. It also helps in
finding out if the documents are forged. This department also helps in Tape
authentication and speaker identification.
vii) Cyber crime: The cyber forensic unit helps in identification, documentation, and
presentation of digital evidence.
viii) Forensic Psychology: This division involves collecting the evidence directly
from the person, and not any physical evidence. This type of evidence is collected
through Narco analysis, brain mapping, etc.
