FSL Delhi to get three more crime scene vehicles for forensic examination

The Forensic Science Laboratory in Rohini will soon get a shot in the arm with the addition of three more mobile crime scene vehicles to tackle the increasing number of requests from the Delhi Police for forensic examination.

According to officials, the addition will ease the burden on the FSL's current fleet of four such vehicles which cater to 15 police districts.

They said the FSL was sanctioned these vehicles around three months ago and currently, the tendering process for procuring these vehicles is underway. They are likely to be procured by December, the officials said.

The vehicles will be managed by the control room at the Rohini facility, operating round-the-clock to expedite timely collection and packaging of forensic evidence, they officials said.

Dr Deepa Verma, Director, Delhi FSL said, "With these units, the laboratory will be able to ensure early disposal of cases, which, in turn, would help law enforcement agencies solve complex crime cases in the shortest possible time and make timely submissions in courts."
