INTRODUCTION
The State Forensic Science Laboratory, Karnataka was established in the year 1967 by
merging the old CID Scientific Laboratory wherein, one chemist and two questioned
document experts were working. This is a special
unit of Police Department and carries out best
forensic science practices in the state to fulfill the
needs of Criminal Justice Delivery System.
This directorate undertakes the scientific analysis
of crime exhibits referred by the police
department and also from other investigating
agencies such as CBI, NIA, Courts, etc within the
jurisdiction. The experts of DFSL examine the
exhibits forwarded by the Investigating agencies
and render expert opinion and substantiate their
opinions in the Courts of Law through court
testimony / expert evidences.
The Forensic Science Laboratory shifted
to the present own premises which covers an area
of about 20,000 Square feet, in the year 1992 from
building Om Mahal at Cunningham Road,
Vasanthnagar, Bengaluru. Presently, the
directorate is woking in its own premises located at Madivala, Bengaluru, and comprises of
ten divisions namely :- Physical Section, Chemical Section, Questioned Documents Section,
Toxicology Section, Fire-arms Section, Biology / Serology Section, Forensic Psychology
Section, Photography Section, DNA Centre, Cyber Forensic Section. Other new divisions are
also to be developed in the new annex building planned to be constructed in front of the
existing complex.
With the increasing requirements & demands of the investigating agencies and also as a
part of decentralizing Forensic Science services, five Regional Forensic Science Laboratories
(RFSLs) were established at five Police ranges. A proposal has been sent to establish a new
regional lab at Ballari range.
REGIONAL FORENSIC SCIENCE LABORATORIES
As mentioned earlier, with the increasing requirements & demands of the
investigating agencies and also as a part of decentralizing Forensic Science services, five
Regional Forensic Science Laboratories (RFSLs) were established at five Police ranges:-
namely, Davanagere, Mangaluru, Belgavi, Kalaburgi and Mysuru for speedy disposal of
cases. A proposal has been sent to establish a new regional lab at Ballari range.
Deputy Director is the head of the Regional Forensic Science Laboratory in the
concerned Police range. This officer conducts overall supervision and control with respect to
both technical and administrative matters. Each RFSL has got four divisions namely
Toxicology, Biology, Forensic Psychology and Photography in which three divisions only

Regular monthly review meetings are being conducted by the undersigned to take
time-to-time measures for speedy disposal of the cases in all the sections.
36
Wherever reporting officers are not available in laboratories, arrangements were made
by deputing reporting officers on rotation basis from headquarters and other regional labs to
dispose the cases there.
Scene of Crime: In the current year, 240 Scenes of Crime were attended by various
officers of FSL and RFSLs and the reports were issued. The crime scene visits include cases
related to Homicides, Suicides, Accidents, Fires and Explosions, etc,.
Apart from the above, officers attend to different courts in Karnataka to depose their
evidence on reports they have furnished and they also have been deputed to VIP duties on the
occasions of visit of VIPs to Karnataka.
RESEARCH
Quality research work is being conducted by the technical personnel of this
directorate apart from other professional tasks performed while working for the causes of
crime investigation and administration of criminal Justice. Research has become integral part
of the professional tasks to keep the scientists fit to handle challenges that may arise while
discharging their professional responsibilities.
TRAINING
Training undergone by the Personnel: Training is also an integral part for a Forensic
Scientist to expand their wings of knowledge to the new methodologies in the field of
Forensic Science. Hence, scientific staff are deputed for training programmes from time-to-
time organized by the LNJN Institute of Criminology and Forensic Science, New Delhi and
permitted them to attend conference / seminar / workshop organized by other institutions in
the field of Forensic Sceicne.
7.2 Training Programmes Organized: Training programmes will be conducted regularly by

ACHIEVEMENTS OF FPB SO FAR.
During the year 2003, the State FPB & FP unit was equipped with the “Automated
Finger Print Identification System (AFIS)” and digitization of fingerprints of criminals was
done. Since 2005, the Fingerprint Bureau has been functioning in its own complex built at a
cost of Rs.92 lakhs.
After the implementation of the AFIS technology during the year 2002-03, in the
field of chance fingerprint search etc, the fingerprint units in various cities and the districts
have so far detected 3188 cases through chance print identification. In all such cases, local
police had no other clues and valuable information regarding identification of culprits was
38
provided by fingerprint experts. After comparison of chance prints developed at the crime
scene with the data available in the AFIS local and remote database, details were sent to the
local Police for apprehension. Fingerprint experts have been regularly using the modern
fingerprint equipments supplied to all cities and districts, under the Modernization Scheme
over the last 10 to 12 years for better development of chance prints.
As on 31-12-2018, the central server of the AFIS has 3,67,256 Ten Print data and
25,855 unidentified chance prints on its database.
Modern equipments have been purchased for developing chance fingerprints at all
scenes of crime. These include MCS-400, imported Kit Box, Digital Camera, Cynowand kit
& others purchased under the Police modernization scheme and supplied to all finger print
units for carrying out their day to day work which has helped immensely in developing
chance prints on various surfaces. This database and application of technology has enabled
detection of cases of homicide, dacoity, robbery, house breaking and theft. In the year 2018 a
total of 257 cases and 14 unidentified dead body cases were identified.
In several instances of chance print identification, information regarding identity of
culprits was provided within one or two hours from the time of visit of Fingerprint Expert’s
team and enabled the I.O. to recover the entire property.
The Fingerprint Bureau issues opinion in forged documents of Civil & Criminal cases
referred to the Fingerprint Bureau by the Hon’ble Courts and various Police stations of
Karnataka and other agencies like CBI, BDA, Lokayuktha, Postal Department etc., to
establish the identity of persons on the basis of their fingerprints affixed by them on certain
sensitive documents, like Sale and Agreement Deeds, wills, gift deed, muster rolls, bank loan
applications. impersonation, forgery of documents, misappropriation and cheating of
government funds could be corrected after comparison of disputed finger prints with the
admitted/specimen finger prints. During the year 2018, 82 such questioned document cases
have been opinioned & disposed.
At present, during 2018 to upgrade the AFIS installed at FPB. Bengaluru, a tender
process was held to procure new AFIS 2.0 and M/s. NEC India Pvt. Ltd., Company were
became L1 and hence, a Work Order was given to them to upgrade AFIS at FPB/FP Units. In
the meantime, 65 New Live Scanners were procured and allotted to State Police Stations
and the installation process is under progress. 367 Police Stations (including 102 police
stations in Bangaluru city) in the state are equipped with live scanners, where finger prints of
suspected, arrested & convicted persons are taken in digital form and the search of finger
prints is done online and results provided to police stations within a very short time.
In the year 2018, 980 Police officers and staff were trained in finger print science.
