Reincarnating Raipur
For the first time, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Raipur has started offering narco-analysis tests. This significant development means that the Chhattisgarh Police and investigation agencies no longer need to travel to Hyderabad or other states to conduct a narco test. The facility, which has been a long-standing request from the police department, conducted its first test on July 27.
A Milestone Achievement for AIIMS Raipur
According to Professor (Dr.) Krishnadutt Chawali, Head of the Forensic Medicine and Toxicology Department at AIIMS, narco analysis is a specialized technique used to interrogate suspects by inducing a trance-like state through the administration of a specific drug. This method, first utilized in India during the investigation of the 2002 Godhra incident, is grounded in the principle that lying requires full consciousness. By rendering a person semi-conscious, their ability to lie is diminished, making them more likely to reveal the truth.
Comprehensive Approach to Crime Investigation
The implementation of this facility at AIIMS Raipur is the result of a collaborative effort among various departments, including Anesthesia, General Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and Forensic Medicine and Toxicology. This multidisciplinary approach ensures the process is carried out efficiently and safely. AIIMS Director (Lieutenant General, Retired) Dr. Ashok Jindal emphasized that the establishment of this facility was made possible through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between AIIMS and the Forensic Science Laboratory in October 2023.
Enhancing Local Law Enforcement Capabilities
With this new facility, the Chhattisgarh Police and other investigation agencies can conduct narco tests locally, saving time and resources. This advancement not only enhances the capabilities of local law enforcement but also underscores AIIMS Raipur’s commitment to supporting the justice system.
In addition to the narco test, other crime investigation methods like hypnosis, polygraphy, and brain mapping continue to be important tools in uncovering the truth. The availability of these advanced forensic techniques at AIIMS Raipur represents a significant step forward in the region’s crime-solving capabilities.
This development marks a new era in forensic science in Chhattisgarh, promising more efficient and effective investigations.
