PATNA: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday gave a major boost to the state's policing and criminal investigation system by flagging off 34 mobile forensic laboratory vehicles. The initiative aims to ensure faster, scientific and more effective investigation of criminal cases across Bihar, an official said.
Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister Samrat Choudhary, and another Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha, were also present at the event, along with senior officials of the Home Department and Bihar Police.
The mobile forensic lab vehicles have been deployed to various districts and departments across the state. Until now, forensic teams depended on police station vehicles or other arrangements to reach crime scenes, often leading to delays that adversely affected investigations and the quality of evidence.
