Common questions
What is a hand-wash bottle exhibit doing in a trap case forwarding form?+
In bribery trap cases the accused's hands are washed in a sodium carbonate solution after handling phenolphthalein-treated currency, and that wash solution is sealed and sent for chemical examination to confirm contact with the tainted notes.
Why are panchnama articles included alongside the physical exhibits?+
The panchnama is the witnessed record of the trap and seizure proceedings, and forwarding it with the exhibits lets the FSL and later the court tie the physical evidence directly to the documented circumstances of its recovery.
