Today normal criminal behaviour has been transformed into electronic criminal behaviour relating to cyber crimes. So for combating such types of crimes, the ordinary and obsolete method of crime-detection is not tenable in the present day circumstances. For detection of such types of modernised crimes, forensic science is a must. With the steadily increasing crime rate, it becomes imperative that crime investigating agencies are equipped with all available resources that can help them solve crimes at an accelerated pace and here it is pertinent to mention that forensic science forms an important part of this process. The criminal Procedural law and evidence law should be amended to make it mandatory for the forensic scientists to visit the scene of the crime to collect such clue materials as blood-stains on clothes etc. suspected poison containers, and so on.
