During her address, CM Gupta stated, “Our government is committed to delivering fast, transparent, and reliable services to the public by leveraging technology.” She underscored the critical role of timely investigations in criminal cases, noting, “If evidence is not collected promptly, the risk of its destruction increases, as perpetrators often attempt to eliminate traces. In such scenarios, the speed and vigilance of forensic teams become the cornerstone of justice.” She expressed her confidence that this new initiative would not only improve the efficiency of Delhi’s judicial system but also foster a greater sense of safety and trust among citizens.
Minister Sood added that the judiciary increasingly values scientific evidence, as it is grounded in concrete facts rather than subjective testimonies. He characterized the launch of the mobile forensics laboratories as a significant advancement towards ensuring transparency and impartiality in law enforcement.
