Underscoring the importance of forensic science, Amit Shah announced, “A police and national forensic science university will be created at the national level. Its affiliated colleges will be there in every State and after class 12 if any student who has decided to pursue a career in police or CAPFs, we should ensure that training of such students is done from the beginning itself.”
Such a student, he said, should get “weightage” when they appear for police entrance. “BPRD has sent the proposal to us and in few days we will put it before the Cabinet for a final decision,” he said.
“I believe the usage of FSL (forensic science laboratories) should be encouraged and made compulsory under law. We will then see more success in getting criminals punished and after this only the tendency to commit a crime will reduce. BPRD should also work on this,” Shah said.
