It is carried out in a laboratory to provide unbiased report to the investigating agencies and to the judiciary. Forensic investigators collect genetic and non-genetic proof usually encountered in criminal cases. They do a careful analysis and prepare a report that aids the agencies in investigation. A Forensic Science Laboratory is a facility that carries out analytical work related to crime scenes. It works by analyzing the various types of evidential material found during a crime scene. This has been executed from the information gained from various already published research papers, conference proceedings and data available on the internet. The data is also collected from the survey conducted with the help of structured questions which have been asked in Google form online questionnaires on the subject matter.
