    Nirbhaya case: Dharwad college helped with forensic analysis


    Basavaraj F Kattimani, TNN | Sep 13, 2013, 01.19AM IST
    HUBLI: The forensic odontology department of the SDM Dental College, Dharwad played a vital role in proving guilty all the accused in
    Nirbhaya rape and murder case. 

    Delhi police sent samples of dental modules of the five accused (except the juvenile) for forensic analysis to be compared with bite marks
    on the victim's body. Dr Ashit B Acharya,
    head of the department, told TOI: "On December 17, I received a call from Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi where the victim was
    admitted. They sought our help with dental forensics." 

    "After confirming that our college is the referral centre for forensic dental cases in Karnataka and I have a recognized degree in
    forensics, Delhi police approached us with a few photographs of the bite marks on the victim and dental modules of the five accused for
    comparison. We took five days to conduct a thorough forensic analysis from January 3 to 7, 2013 and established that at least five marks
    matched the accused dental modules. We used computer analysis for it,"
