VARANASI: The cops learnt the art of collecting evidences scientifically in cases of murder, rape, explosion and road mishaps in a daylong workshop held in the city. The workshop was held with the help of Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) scientists.
IG (range) R P Singh said that during his meeting with FSL director S B Upadhyaya in Lucknow recently, he had requested to hold a special training programme for the policemen in Varanasi range.
Responding to the same request, the FSL director reached Varanasi recently to hold a daylong training programme.
Singh said that this training programme was needed because in many cases, the junior cops do not try to collect evidences scientifically due to which problems are faced either at FSL level or in court during the course of trial. All station officers, all gazetted officers from Varanasi and two officials each from Chandauli, Ghazipur and Jaunpur participated in the training programme.
SP (rural) Harish Kumar, who coordinated this programme, said that the training on many aspects of evidence collection is given during the regular training courses of police. But, during the special training programme conducted by the FSL, the cops were taught about the technicalities of new methodology of evidence collection, he said, adding that slide shows made this programme interesting as the team of 10 experts shared the details of incident site management protocol.
The IG said that many aspects like DNA profiling, ballistic evidences, collection of evidences in rape cases scientifically, viscera preservation and fingerprint techniques were talked about during this training programme.
