The Chief Minister outlined the procedure followed by forensic teams at crime scenes begin with by securing the area, followed by documentation through photography, sketching, and videography. After that, they collect evidence such as DNA, blood samples, and digital data for initial testing. Finally, a detailed report is prepared, which can be presented in court as legal evidence.
