Cyber Forensic Labs Planned for Patna and Rajgir to Combat Rising Cybercrime in Bihar

Bihar is set to establish two cyber forensic laboratories in Patna and Rajgir to bolster investigations into the growing number of cybercrimes. The labs will operate in conjunction with the existing Forensic Science Lab (FSL) under the CID. A team from the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) in Gujarat is expected to arrive soon to assist in setting up the labs and provide expert consultation. The NFSU is a premier institution specializing in forensic science research and related courses. The establishment of these labs aims to facilitate scientific investigation of cybercrimes, aid in evidence collection, and assist in prosecuting offenders. The new labs will be crucial for analyzing digital evidence, especially with the implementation of the new Indian Justice Code (BNS).
