This centre will be only for the forensic purpose and will be equipped with the latest technologies and all super specialties.

Ministry of Home Affairs has confirmed that first CBSF would be established in the campus of State Forensic Science Laboratory, Bangalore but it would be directly under central government and would be applied for forensics including brain mapping, polygraph, narco analysis test, MRI, EEG and ERP etc.

“It will be a highly specialised and technical centre with the latest know how and state-of-the-art equipment. As of now, there’s no one facility for conducting brain mapping, polygraph and narco analysis tests.”, said Dr B M Mohan, director, Forensic Science Laboratory.

“We have to take the subjects out to government hospitals for conducting these tests. This institute will have all facilities to conduct these and other specialised tests, including electro encephalograph (EEG) and event related potential (ERP),” added further Dr Mohan.

Elaborating about brain mapping and narco analysis test Dr. Mohan, the forensic expert told that human brain store the memory of any incidents and place in which a person had directly or indirectly involved, it might be social or criminal. All the information regarding these activities can be accessed from ERP test. He also informed about neuro-biological applications. “If a person is an addict, he may suffer some psychological impairment. Through the neuro-biological applications, we can find out the extent of the impairment”, said Dr. Mohan.

For launching CBSF successfully, government has begun the process of recruiting for the 15 posts. “The meeting is scheduled to be held on Sep 04, after that centre will thereafter start taking cases from all over India.”, said Dr. Sharat Chandra, the head of the advisory body.

Center is also planning to sep up MRI machines and DNA printing for forensic purpose. “After some time, we will consider integrating all these tests with functional MRI related to forensics”, said Dr Mohan.

While Inspector General of Police, K R Sreenivasan said, “As of now we don’t have any facility for DNA printing. We send material to the DNA centre in Hyderabad. With the upgradation of our facility we will start conducting DNA tests here”.
