Forensic science plays a crucial role in modern-day investigations of violent


crimes, employing a variety of techniques and disciplines to ensure accurate
detection, analysis, and interpretation of evidence. Here’s how it contributes
significantly:

1. Crime Scene Investigation (CSI)


 Preservation of Evidence: Proper techniques are used to secure and
document the crime scene to prevent contamination.
 Photography and Mapping: Detailed photographs and sketches help
reconstruct the crime scene.

2. Biological Evidence Analysis


 DNA Profiling: This technique analyzes genetic material found in blood,
saliva, hair, or skin cells to identify victims or suspects.
 Serology: Identifies blood type and other biological fluids, helping to
establish connections between individuals and crime scenes.

3. Trace Evidence Analysis


 Hair and Fiber Comparison: Microscopic analysis of hair or fibers found at
a crime scene can link a suspect to the victim or location.
 Gunshot Residue (GSR) Analysis: Tests for residue on a suspect’s hands
to determine if they recently discharged a firearm.

4. Toxicology
 Substance Identification: Analyzing bodily fluids (blood, urine) to detect
drugs, alcohol, or poisons that may have contributed to a violent crime.
 Post-Mortem Toxicology: Determining substances in deceased individuals
to establish cause of death.

5. Ballistics
 Firearm Examination: Analyzing bullets, cartridge cases, and weapons to
match firearms to specific crimes.
 Trajectory Analysis: Using mathematical calculations to determine the
path of a bullet, helping reconstruct shooting incidents.

6. Forensic Odontology
 Bite Mark Analysis: Comparing bite marks on victims to dental records of
suspects.
 Identification: Analyzing dental remains to help identify deceased
individuals.

7. Forensic Anthropology
 Skeletal Analysis: Examining human skeletal remains to determine age,
sex, ancestry, and trauma, aiding in victim identification.
 Trauma Assessment: Identifying perimortem injuries that can provide
insights into the circumstances surrounding death.

8. Digital Forensics
 Cybercrime Investigation: Analyzing computers, smartphones, and other
digital devices to recover evidence related to violent crimes.
 Data Recovery: Extracting deleted files, emails, and communications that
may be relevant to the case.

9. Forensic Psychology
 Behavioral Analysis: Understanding the psychological aspects of offenders
to aid in profiling and predicting future behavior.
 Competency Assessments: Evaluating the mental state of suspects to
determine their ability to stand trial.

10. Expert Testimony


 Court Presentation: Forensic experts provide credible testimony based on
scientific evidence, helping juries understand complex evidence.

11. Technology Integration


 3D Reconstruction: Using advanced software to create 3D models of crime
scenes for better visualization.
 Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS): Rapidly
matching fingerprints collected from crime scenes to databases.

12. Interdisciplinary Collaboration


 Multi-Agency Approach: Collaboration among forensic scientists, law
enforcement, legal professionals, and medical examiners to ensure thorough
investigations.

Conclusion
Forensic science is indispensable in modern investigations of violent crimes,
providing scientific rigor and objectivity. It enhances the accuracy of
evidence collection, analysis, and interpretation, ultimately aiding in the
pursuit of justice and the prevention of future crimes. As technology
advances, the capabilities of forensic science continue to evolve, further
strengthening its role in the criminal justice system.

Yes, Interpol has issued Red Notices for several individuals from Pakistan who have been
wanted for various crimes. Here are a few notable examples:

1. Abdul Basit: Wanted in connection with terrorism-related activities, specifically linked to


militant groups.
2. Hafiz Saeed: The founder of the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, he has been designated a
terrorist by the United States and was wanted for his involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
3. Sajid Mir: Another key figure linked to the Mumbai attacks, he has been the subject of a Red
Notice due to his alleged role in planning and executing the attack.
4. Rashid Rauf: A Pakistani national wanted for his involvement in terrorist plots, including the
2006 transatlantic aircraft plot. He was killed in a drone strike, but his Red Notice was part of
international efforts to track him down.

These cases illustrate how Interpol's Red Notices are utilized to facilitate the arrest and
extradition of individuals involved in serious criminal activities, including terrorism. The
issuance of these notices reflects international cooperation to combat organized crime and
terrorism.

Criminal investigation principles are essential guidelines that law


enforcement agencies follow to ensure thorough, effective, and lawful
investigations. Here are key principles with examples from the context of
Pakistan:

1. Preservation of Evidence
 Principle: Evidence must be preserved in its original state to maintain its
integrity for analysis and use in court.
 Example: In the Zainab Ansari case, investigators ensured the proper
collection and preservation of DNA evidence from the crime scene, which
was crucial in identifying the perpetrator.

2. Chain of Custody
 Principle: The chain of custody must be documented to ensure that
evidence is accounted for from the time it is collected until it is presented in
court.
 Example: In Mukhtaran Mai's case, maintaining a clear chain of custody
for the forensic evidence collected helped establish the reliability of the
findings during the trial.

3. Comprehensive Documentation
 Principle: Detailed documentation of the crime scene, witness statements,
and evidence collection procedures is critical for transparency and future
reference.
 Example: In the Wali Khan Babar murder case, thorough documentation
of the crime scene and witness testimonies played a vital role in securing
convictions.

4. Interrogation and Interview Techniques


 Principle: Effective interviewing techniques must be employed to gather
accurate information from witnesses and suspects without coercion.
 Example: In various cybercrime investigations, such as those conducted by
the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), investigators use strategic
questioning to elicit useful information from suspects.

5. Forensic Analysis
 Principle: Utilize forensic science to analyze physical evidence, which can
provide objective information regarding the crime.
 Example: In the Asma Rani case, forensic ballistics and DNA analysis were
instrumental in linking the suspect to the crime scene and securing a
conviction.

6. Collaboration and Coordination


 Principle: Effective communication and collaboration among various law
enforcement agencies, both nationally and internationally, enhance the
investigation process.
 Example: Pakistan's involvement in Interpol operations has allowed for
improved coordination in tracking down fugitives and gathering intelligence
on organized crime.

7. Victim and Witness Support


 Principle: Providing support and protection for victims and witnesses
encourages cooperation and ensures their safety.
 Example: In the aftermath of the Model Town incident, law enforcement
provided protection to witnesses who were crucial in the investigation and
subsequent trials.

8. Legal Compliance
 Principle: Investigations must adhere to legal standards and protocols to
ensure that evidence is admissible in court and that the rights of suspects
and victims are respected.
 Example: In several high-profile cases, such as those involving terrorism
suspects, adherence to legal procedures during arrests and investigations
has been crucial in securing convictions without violating rights.

9. Community Engagement
 Principle: Engaging with the community can help gather intelligence and
build trust, aiding in investigations.
 Example: Police initiatives in various cities, including Karachi, involve
community policing strategies that encourage citizens to report suspicious
activities and cooperate with investigations.

Conclusion
These principles guide criminal investigations in Pakistan, ensuring that they
are conducted systematically and ethically. Successful application of these
principles has led to significant breakthroughs in high-profile cases,
ultimately contributing to justice and public safety.
