Nashik city police to soon get two new forensic vans
Nashik: The Nashik city and rural police will soon receive forensic vans to improve evidence collection at crime scenes involving offences punishable by seven years or more. Senior officers from both city and rural police have confirmed that each police division will get one forensic van. These vehicles will enable forensic experts from the directorate of forensic science laboratory to reach crime scenes and gather crucial evidence. In Dec 2023, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) replaced the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and Indian Evidence Act, respectively. The introduction of these new criminal laws has significantly changed policing practices. Previously, in serious cases such as murder, the police conducted the panchanama (crime scene documentation) with assistance from forensic experts. Now, under section 23 of the BSA, a four-minute videography of the crime scene panchanama must be recorded and uploaded to the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) directly from the scene. In case there is a network issue at the crime spot, the officer at the crime spot can make a note of the same and upload the video from the police station. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo Hence, the need for forensic vans is felt in the city as well as in the rural area. Currently, there is one forensic van with the city police and two with the rural police that are insufficient. In view of this, the forensic vans are being provided by the govt, which will enable swift panchanama and related legal procedures. DCP (HQ) Chandrakant Khandvi said the city police commissionerate would receive new forensic vans soon, which will be of great utility considering the city's expanding expanse.

The city police recently issued orders to police personnel to vacate the quarters so that they can be demolished for constructing newer ones. DCP (HQ) Chandrakant Khandvi said, "A structural audit was conducted of these chawls and a few buildings there. It was found that these chawls were no longer suitable for staying. We have advised the concerned policemen staying in these quarters to vacate them at the earliest." Senior police officials have told the line sergeants, responsible for the upkeep of these buildings, to ensure that these buildings are vacated by the police personnel residing there at the earliest.

Senior police officers said that these chawls are almost 100 years' old. Officers also said that there is a proposal to raze these quarters and construct new buildings in their place. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 3BHK Transformation Possible for ₹4.5 Lakh?
