Sindh police want forensic laboratory to bolster investigations
According to the IG, all the steps are being taken to run the investigation wing of the police on scientific basis, with expansion forensic evidences also have importance in this regard. He said using scientific and technical methods is not only to improve the investigations but it also helps in arresting the actual criminals.
