Forensic investigation in Bangladesh is essential for solving complex crimes, ensuring justice, and strengthening the legal system. It involves scientific analysis of evidence such as fingerprints, DNA, bloodstains, digital records, and ballistic materials.
The CID and forensic labs under the Bangladesh Police and other agencies handle forensic investigations. Advanced forensic techniques, including toxicology, cyber forensics, and forensic pathology, help in criminal profiling and evidence verification. However, challenges like outdated forensic facilities and case backlogs hinder efficiency.
Investing in forensic technology, increasing expert training, and establishing more forensic laboratories will improve the country’s ability to solve crimes and uphold the rule of law.
