The finger print expert opinion not only helped local police in solving a Murder case but also provided them scientific and infallible evidence against the culprit.
The CFPB Delhi also helped detect cases pertaining to the examination of questioned documents of the candidates who appeared in the written examination. In most cases, the prints were of very poor quality posing difficulty in examination with an additional pressure of time from the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) to furnish the expert opinion on a priority basis. Despite all the odds, the experts showed full dedication displaying the best professional skills, and the impersonation in the cases was established.
The Bureau received 56 document cases from CISF’s Eastern Zone Headquarters at Patna, one case from Force unit at Singrauli in Madhya Pradesh regarding impersonation in recruitment. In these cases, the Admission Certificates (Commission’s Copy) bearing questioned left hand thumb finger prints were received to be compared with the specimen finger prints present on the document of the suspected candidates.
Most of the questioned prints were of extremely poor quality but the specimen prints were of decipherable quality. The questioned left hand thumb fingerprints were compared carefully and thoroughly with specimen prints of suspected candidates by experts of CFPB and established conclusive impersonation.
Similarly, nine document cases regarding alleged misappropriation of the government money were received by CFPB from Post offices, Bhiwani in Haryana wherein withdrawal vouchers of various depositors bearing fingerprints were received to be compared with the specimen fingerprints present on relevant claim forms and written statements of the depositors. Luckily, most of the questioned prints were of decipherable quality but the specimen prints were of slightly poor quality. Finally, the specimen prints of decipherable quality were selected for examination and the impersonation in the cases was established by CFPB experts.
