DGP pitches for brain fingerprinting test
DGP Pitches for Brain Finger Printing Test, Seminar on Brain Finger Printing. Director General of Police (DGP) B Prasada Rao said that the technology used in the investigation process should not infringe upon human rights.
- About 90% accuracy can be achieved by it
- But, human rights should not be violated
- United States using the system successfully
- In India, laws need to be amended to use it
Director General of Police (DGP) B Prasada Rao said that the technology used in the investigation process should not infringe upon human rights.
Addressing a seminar on brain fingerprinting (BF) meant for detecting concealed information in a criminal’s brain, at Andhra Pradesh Forensic Science Lab (APSFL) in collaboration with Swarna Raksha here on Saturday, he opined that the investigation conducted with the help of the BF should be more efficient. “About 90 per cent of accuracy can be achieved with this system,” he remarked, adding, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of America was successful in using the system.
He, however, observed that the existing laws need to be amended for conducting investigations using the BF. Hoping that the new mode of investigation would gain acceptance very soon, he emphasised that the court permission was mandatory in order to use the BF on a criminal. APSFL
director A Sharada said that the BF, which is being used widely in the western countries, is a very useful and efficient system to elicit information concealed by the accused. She further informed that the consent of the accused was required for obtaining court’s nod for conducting BF during an investigation process, besides conducting certain pre-tests.
By adopting brain fingerprinting, human rights violations would be comparatively lower than in other conventional methods such as narco-analysis, DNA mapping and polygraph tests. She said that only trained psychologists would be tasked to use the BF.
Former DGP Swaranjit Sen, senior IPS officers A R Anuradha, Sandeep Shandilya, VSK Koumudi, Satyanarayana and Krishna Prasad, law experts, representatives of manufactures of the brain fingerprinting and officials of APFSL were present.
