LEH : The Ministry of Home Affairs has approved the establishment of the first forensic science laboratory (FSL) in Ladakh, officials said on Friday. The forensic science laboratory in Ladakh will provide an unbiased scientific opinion on different types of evidential material referred to them by the investigating agencies and in turn, help the judiciary. they said.
In the absence of such a laboratory in Ladakh, specimens had to be sent outside the UT which affected investigations, especially when the specimens were perishables like human viscera, officials said.
FSL in Ladakh will be a multidisciplinary forensic laboratory capable of examination and analysis of biological, chemical, print, and documentary evidence, they said.
The laboratory in Ladakh will go a long way in giving strong and reliable evidence in the court of law.
