The “prints” are the patterns of skin oils or dirt of these ridges leave behind on touching a surface. Fingerprints became a popular form of bio-metrics because they are easy to access, classify and sort. Fingerprints are Unique and Permanent , this quality of fingerprint make it an infallible means of personal identification, because the ridge arrangement on every finger of every human being is unique and does not alter with growth or age.

You might have heard this phrase that “ dead men tells no tail unless you are in forensics ” well, there is a slight modification to this phrase in regards to present situation and that is “Dead men can spread Coronavirus while telling tails” .   I know it sounds like a movie or as if we are discussing ne...

Recently an article says that women are at forefront in booming of forensic field and I can support this statement with evidence. Technological progress had a profound impact on the development of forensic analysis- from DNA typing to retinal scanning, from chemistry to physics; from genetics to entomology; from ballistics to botany development of any sort in these feild have aided somehow in forensic investigations (Forensic to other discipline:  Kabhi Kabhi Lagta hai Apun hi Bhagwan hai ). Being multi-disciplinary subject, forensic involve a wide number of scientists specializing in different disciplines and to cover continuous demand for forensic services, scientists are required to process a l...
