The competition, held at DSNLU's campus, provided a platform for law students and forensic professionals to demonstrate their expertise in examining crime scenes, gathering evidence, and applying investigative techniques in simulated scenarios. Participants competed in teams, tasked with analyzing evidence, documenting findings, and presenting their conclusions to a panel of judges comprising experienced forensic experts and law enforcement professionals.
The event featured multiple rounds testing various aspects of crime scene investigation, including evidence collection, chain of custody procedures, and the interpretation of forensic data. Teams were evaluated on their methodological approach, accuracy in evidence analysis, and the quality of their final investigative reports.
