A new cyber lab was inaugurated at the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Academy, Ghaziabad to facilitate training to the investigating officers. The cyber lab, along with three other newly constructed facilities augmenting the existing infrastructure, was inaugurated by CBI Director Alok Kumar Verma on Monday.
In the wake of growing demand for training on cyber crime investigation the third cyber lab is expected to facilitate "niche" training to the investigating officers of the CBI.
Verma also inaugurated a sports complex with one squash court, two badminton courts, a gymnasium and a yoga Centre meeting international standards.
On the occasion he also released 4 books and 7 digests published by the CBI Academy. These books included "Investigation of Anti-Corruption Cases"~ book compiles effective and efficient methods and procedures, recommended for the investigators and prosecutors of Central Bureau of Investigation for successful investigation and prosecution of the corruption cases. While second book "Handling of Electronic Evidence" is to guide the investigators and prosecutors regarding accurate acquisition, maintaining integrity, in-depth analysis and structured presentation of electronic evidence before the court of law.
The book "Scientific Aids to Investigation and Forensic Medicines" explains different methods used for collection, handling, packing and forwarding the physical evidence for forensic examination and their evidentiary value. This book also deals with the forensic medicine which provides a basic understanding of medico-legal aspects of the crime and the book "Scientific Interrogation & Interview Techniques" examines in detail various aspects of interview/interrogation techniques and provides techniques for detecting deception in the statements made by the witnesses/suspects, including legal aspects for bringing out the concealed information.
The seven digests of case laws launched included Digest of Case laws on Cheating, Digest of Case laws on Conspiracy, Digest of Case laws on Confession, Digest of Case laws on Disproportionate Assets and other.
"These handbooks and digests have been prepared after painstaking effort with significant contribution of retired and serving officers of this agency. I have always believed that a major part of institution building is to document the experience of old, which can be analyzed and distilled to provide a beacon of guidance to the young investigators and prosecutors," said Verma.
