WHAT ARE SOME FAMOUS CASES WHERE FORENSIC INVESTIGATION PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE?

Forensic investigation has played a crucial role in many cases, some of which have even been turned into documentaries, movies, or TV shows.

There are many cases related to, identification of human traffickers posing as parents of children they traffic, retrieval of key evidences in mobile and computers in cases related POCSO, Voice Over IP fraud, POSH at workplace and many more that were solved using forensic investigative techniques at Truth Labs,  showing the importance of forensic science application in criminal justice system.
