CHAPTER-IV

SOME IMPORTANT CASES / GOOD WORK DONE BY F.P. EXPERTS

Investigation of a crime primarily means to identify the person responsible for the crime. Conclusive evidence to establish the identity of a person beyond doubts is a prerequisite of any crime investigation. Fingerprint provides the most reliable and infallible scientific clue, which not only identifies a person but also, excludes him from the rest of the world. For more than over a century, finger print science is still one of the most important tools used by various investigating and law enforcing agencies across the globe. Many a times, it is established, when all other leads fail, it is the fraction of a finger impression recovered from the scene of crime that helps link the crime to the criminal. Some of such cases where in chance prints clues found from the scene of crime or on documents played a pivotal role in solving the crime and subsequent recovery of properties are highlighted below.

CHAPTER-V COMPUTERISATION AND MODERN EQUIPMENT

INTRODUCTION

Fingerprints have been in use in law enforcing departments for personal identification for more than a century. The manual system of fingerprint identification is not able to keep pace with the rate of increase of the FP records and the increasing number of queries that are to be responded every day. Long search time and low positive identification rates (poor tracing of criminals) are the major problems in the manual system. The need for a computer based Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) was, therefore, felt by the Police Department and Fingerprint investigating officers in India. A few systems, which were available abroad, were assessed and it was found that the cost of importing such specialised systems was very high. Further, as no technology transfer takes place for such imported systems the indigenous development of AFIS under specifications drawn out with police experts were thought of. As a result, CMC's Research and Development Centre started preliminary work for the development of AFIS in January 1985. 1. 40-DIGIT SYSTEM (SEMI-AUTOMATIC) Computerisation of fingerprints in India was taken up during mid seventies and ten States started working on it initially. A 40-digit code based semi-automatic system was adopted for the conversion of finger print records to prepare the DATABASE. The work went on in all those 10 States at varying pace. Under this system, all the known and accepted fingerprint pattern types have been divided into ten types, and allotted a 2-digit numerical code from 01 to 22 (Code No. 14-15 merged with 13). Similarly the ridge count of the patterns from appropriate delta to its core is taken and expressed in terms of two-digit code, from 00 to 30 (30 being the upper limit). Count could be expressed in a 4-digit numerical code for each finger, the finger print pattern and its ridge count e.g. an Ulnar Loop with eight ridge counts would be shown as 0708 and a plain Whorl with 19 counts as 1319. The ten fingers of the two hands of a person make it a 40-digit code. Limitations of 40-Digit Code System are that, it requires results, which are dependent upon the subjective expertise of individuals classifying and codifying the F.P. Slips. This system is good for small database, but it is slow, also involves huge man power and man hours with uncertain accuracy. 2. DEVELOPMENT OF 'AFIS' 2.1 Investigative and Preparatory Activity The first prototype version was developed on VAX-11/750 host computer with FPS-100 Array Processor and COMTAL 8000/R Image Processing Subsystem. The sample FP data provided by Gujarat Police was digitized at Space Application Centre, Ahmedabad and was used for testing. A Conference of Senior Police Officers (IG's and DIG's) of various states was held at CMC Complex, Secunderabad in November 1985, to demonstrate the system and get the


76

feedback. The police officials appreciated CMC's effort and suggested that a full fledged AFIS be developed for their operational use. 2.2 Visits to European AFIS Installations A team of experts was formed with two representatives from MHA, one each from Department of Electronics, CMC and ECIL to assess available Finger Print Systems, particularly those of CIMSA-France (now SAGEM-MORPHO) and LOGICA-UK. A meeting was held on 15th October 1986 in the DOE, New Delhi following this visit to decide the approaches to meet the requirements of Indian Police and develop the AFIS. This meeting was attended by officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs, DOE, CMC and ECIL. Following is an extract from the minutes of this meeting: “The four known suppliers of AFIS Systems in the world are 1) Printrak, USA, 2) NEC, Japan, 3) CIMSA, France and 4) Logica, UK. While there are certain commonalities in terms of organisation of FPs, their use and the legal implications associated with them, each country has certain amount of uniqueness about its operations. AFIS have been developed, therefore, in close association with their respective police departments in the countries by these specialised companies. Printrak, USA and NEC, Japan has shown no interest in transferring technology to India. Though Logica, UK, engineered the first system for New Scotland Yard, their continued involvement in the plan of automation of FP activity in UK appears to be in doubt. CIMSA, France while showing initial eagerness for Transfer of Technology (ToT), has been trying to sell a system at a very high price with no specific proposal for ToT. In view of this, it is felt necessary to launch a national indigenous effort to meet the requirements of Indian Police”. 2.3 Supports from Technology Development Council, DOE M/s CMC Ltd proposed the development of the AFIS, using systems engineering approach, that is, use the state of the art technique, appropriate hardware elements and develop the complete software specially catering to the Indian Police. Proposal for indigenous development of AFIS was submitted to TDC of DOE and a loan of ` 186 lakhs was granted to M/s CMC Ltd to develop the system. Subsequently, the loan was converted to a grant-in aid. 2.4 Steering Committee

The DOE formulated a Steering Committee of the following members:

1. S.K. Sharma, Director, National Crime Records Bureau, New Delhi. 2. Dr. A.K. Chakravarty, Director in the Office of SA to PM, DOE, New Delhi. 3. Prof. B.N. Chatterjee, Dept. of Electrical & Comm. Engg., IIT, Kharagpur. 4. Dr. A.K. Jain, Joint Director, DOE, New Delhi - Member Convenor.

The Steering Committee was formed on August 12, 1987. The Steering Committee was to give preliminary advice and oversee the implementation of DOE's TDC funded project on development of AFIS. The steering committee was revised on June 27, 1989 as:

1. S.K. Sharma, Director, National Crime Records Bureau, New Delhi.

2. Col. P.P. Varma, Dy. Director, National Crime Records Bureau, New Delhi

5. Dr. A.K. Jain, Joint Director, DOE, New Delhi - Member Convenor. 2.5 Project Brief

The project envisaged technology development, systems integration, testing and documentation. The technologies developed were algorithms for feature extraction and matching of fingerprints. These algorithms were implemented on high speed general purpose array processors. Special algorithms were developed to match very difficult chance prints obtained from scene of crime. Software was developed to store, retrieve, delete and replace fingerprint images and related data. Significant amount of software was also developed on the workstations for digitizing images, editing and verification of results. Hard copy generation facility was also developed. The special purpose equipment such as array processors, optical disk and LAN were integrated. A database of 10,000 prints was created and tested. The system achieved very high success rates in matching the chance prints and rolled prints. Extensive testing was done from May 8th to May 20th 1989 by NCRB, Haryana Police and the Andhra Pradesh Police. NCRB assisted in creating the test database of 10,000 prints. The project was completed on June 30, 1989. This project helped the country in building a high technology, state of the art system. Now the technology was available for operational purpose at substantially lower costs. This system was also tailor-made to meet the Indian Police requirements. 3. FINGER PRINT ANALYSIS AND CRIMINAL TRACING SYSTEM

(FACTS) Global changes in both hardware and software technology were making rapid progress, resulting in more powerful, versatile and intelligent computer systems. Finger print identification is one such area where computerised image processing techniques can be used to a great advantage over the existing manual procedure. Today, the systems equipped with image processing technology for finger print identification are LOGICA, SAGEM, COGENT, SONDA, DERMALOG, PRINTRAK, NEC and SECUREMANTRA. As mentioned above, `FACTS' has been developed by CMC Ltd. (India) for finger print identification. ‘FACTS’ is a specific name given by CMC Ltd. (India) for its version of Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). Research and development work was taken up by the CMC, then a Govt. of India organisation, to develop a fully automated system for fingerprint examination and records. The first version of such a system FACTS 1.0 was set up for extensive trials and data base creation at the CFPB, NCRB, New Delhi in March 1992. The system was capable of performing automatically along the following lines:

i) Digitisation ii) Feature extraction and iii) Comparison of Finger prints among its assigned tasks.

It was expected to be ready for use in other States at an early date after rigorous tests and

trials at the CFPB and after all the required modifications and improvements.


78

Computerisation of finger print records and other related subjects such as crime and criminals information system made positive progress in 1994. Computerisation and data management had become part of everyday work of a FPB. More and more searches were being conducted through computerised systems. The ratio between man-hours spent and the results obtained were certainly much better than the previous years. 3.1 Scope of FACTS FACTS is an aid to finger print experts in their task of storing, updating and querying on database of fingerprints. Hardware consists of computer, input sub-system including scanner, matcher sub-system, encoder/editor sub-system and verifier sub-system. Software provides facilities to use FACTS for rolled finger print identification, chance print identification, addition, deletion of fingerprints and replacement of poor quality prints in case of duplicates, processing of death reports and absconders reports. Also the reports on performance of FACTS would be generated on daily, monthly, half yearly and yearly basis. Only eight prints per slip, excluding two little fingers, were stored in FACTS 3.0 for the purpose of matching. The upgradation of the version to FACTS 4.0 has taken care of all the ten-digit prints for matching and updating.

AFIS is based on pattern recognition theory. It involves (i) selection of characteristic features from the patterns to be identified (ii) extraction of these features from a set of reference patterns and storing them on a computer to form the database of known patterns (iii) extraction of similar features from a given pattern to be identified and comparison of these features against those of the known patterns in the database to decide if a match exists among the later. Minutiae-based algorithms that are built into the software, extract information such as ridge ending and bifurcation from a fingerprint image. These features are then stored as mathematical templates. The identification or verification process compares the template of the live image with a database of enrolled templates (identification), or with a single enrolled template (authentication). 3.2 Functions of FACTS The following functions are performed by the FACTS.

1. Database creation 7. Replacement of poor quality prints 2. Personal identification 8. Processing of references relating to ex-

convicts 3. Finger print Image display 9. Creation of list of time barred slips 4. Chance print identification 10. Processing of death reports

5. Deletion of FP records 11. Processing of absconder reports 6. Report generation 12. Adding conviction details for known

RCN.

Work in FACTS 1.0 proceeded in the following steps: - 1. Digitization 2. Feature Extraction 3. Minutiae Editing 4. Matching 5. Verification

3.3 Limitations of FACTS Version 1.0

It did not specify any reference print to be an exact one to one match against the query print. It gave a short list of probable matches and provided an expert an aid to verify the listed individual prints visually.

Pattern class, core, delta points needed to be provided by the expert in the CCD camera

based system. (It would not be required in the advanced scanner based system.) Palm prints and sole prints and little fingers were not stored in the system. Chance prints with eight or more minutiae could only be submitted for matching. 3.4 FACTS Version 3.0 An upgraded and faster version of FACTS styled as FACTS Version 3 .0 works basically on the same basic principles and theories as in FACTS Version 1.0. But the software has been modified to suit the advanced hardware. The following diagram shows the work transaction mechanism of FACTS Version 3.0 INPUT Q.C.

An Automatic Scanner Device in FACTS Version 3.0 has replaced the C.C.D. camera of the Input Workstation of FACTS VERSION 1.0. It is very versatile, fast and can grab all the ten fingerprints from a fingerprint slip in a single go. Encoding and editing functions are also automatically performed by the same input workstation. Only verification of the match list is done by fingerprint experts. The improvements like automatic digitisation encoding and quality check by input workstation, capability of the Hi-tech hardware and modified software have gone a long way in making the system more sophisticated and efficient thus minimising the work load on experts. 3.5 FACTS Version 4.0 FACTS Version 4.0 is an advanced version of AFIS available from M/s. CMC Ltd. The special feature of this system is that the encoding of the fingerprint is done on the workstation only unlike the earlier version. This saves a lot of time in file transfer and avoids work stoppage due to non-availability of prints for quality check. The inclusion of Henry Code to cross check the primary classification goes a long way in creating an error free database. The improvements are that there is a facility for re-submission of chance print searches by changing the parameters i.e. pattern / fingers in matching. FACTS 4.0 also maintained a separate database for unsolved scene of crime prints which can be compared against the future chance prints and in-coming search slips. The following diagram shows the work transaction mechanism of FACTS 4.0

Benefits of FACTS 4.0 over FACTS 3.0 1. Improved Workstation Interface There are extensive improvements in the user interface of FACTS 4.0 workstation over the previous version. Some of the major improvements are:

i) Ease of operation and shorter learning curve due to the labelled buttons in the Graphical User Interface.

ii) Easier and faster editing of chance prints due to additional feature of eraser-style skeleton deletion with multiple eraser thickness.

iii) Faster Quality Check of rolled prints. iv) Common interface for chance prints and rolled prints reducing learning time. v) Integrated Henry Code Check available as an option enabling easy detection of

errors in marking pattern classes during input of ten digit FP slips. vi) Chance print can be temporarily saved during input thus allowing work to be

temporarily suspended, if necessary. vii) Flexibility in image magnification during QC and editing, thus improving system

usability. viii) Improved accuracy in placement of finger print box resulting in better resolution

and larger on-screen displays. ix) Permits hardcopies to be printed for reference.

2. Local Finger Print Encoding The fingerprints were sent to the server at the back-end for encoding in FACTS 3.0. This imposed a limitation on the number of workstations that could be connected. Encoding of fingerprints is carried out locally in FACTS 4.0 workstation as a result of which, the processing power of the server is no longer a limitation on the number of workstations that can be connected, thus, enabling larger number of FACTS workstations to be connected to a server, for instance, during backlog conversion. 3. Ease of Scalability In the light of the above point, i.e. local fingerprint encoding, the FACTS system can easily be scaled from a small system to larger configurations without the need to reconfigure the entire system. 4. Operating System FACTS 3.0 workstation software required Unix (SCO OSR5) operating system, whereas FACTS 4.0 workstation software is built on Windows NT platform. This enables easier workstation management and wider option with printers. Status Report on FACTS in CFPB/NCRB Computerisation of Finger Print Record is being vigorously pursued in CFPB/ NCRB right from the year 1992. Starting with FACTS 1.0, it has successively been upgraded to FACTS 5.0 which is a fully automated version of the system and much more efficient


82

compared to the earlier versions. The storage capacity is upgraded to hold and process 10 Lakhs fingerprint slips. As many as 9,24,111 Finger Print slips have been updated into the FACTS database as on 31.12.2013. Futuristic Scenario The future of AFIS development will be seen in improvement in the AFIS processing capability and also in its case of integration with other biometric devices. The advent of portable live scan fingerprint devices and satellite communications makes it possible to bring fingerprint-based identification to remote site and field related applications. The potential for forensic advances as a result of this automated remote capability is enormous, particularly when considered as a latent print identification tool. Traditionally, AFIS contained ten-print fingerprint records and biographical information. More and more, digital images, palm prints and auxiliary biometrics are being included with the traditional fingerprint images to enhance the identification capabilities being provided. The devices capable of capturing and comparing more than one form of biometric data to facilitate the identification of persons of interest are available in the market. These multi-modal devices seek to compensate for the inherent deficiencies of single biometric identification methods. The integration of such platforms into the existing AFIS environment is certain to gain traction in future. The CFPB/NCRB is undertaking massive up gradation of its AFIS and is contemplating inclusion of other biometrics like iris, face, palm to the fingerprints to increase the speed of processing and accuracy of results. The scale and reach of the proposed system is in line with the ongoing project - Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) of NCRB which envisages on-line connectivity between the Police Stations, DCRBx, SCRBx and the Central server/National database at NCRB. MODERNISATION Monitoring Committee for the modernisation of Crime Records, in its fifth meeting held on 18-19 June 1992 recommended modernisation of Finger Print Bureaux by acquiring technological aids to improve their efficiency and performance. The committee consisted of S/Shri S.N.P. Sinha, Addl. DGP(TS), UP, Lucknow; V. Krishnamoorthy, IGP & Dir/SCRB, Kerala; S.S. Bhandari, IGP & Dir/SCRB, West Bengal; Sarbjeet Singh, IGP, Computer, Punjab; Janardan Singh, Deputy Director, NCRB, Delhi; Kishore Jha, AD(T); Dir/CFPB, NCRB; M.P. Singh, AD(Ops), NCRB and P.B.R. Menon, JAD(S), NCRB. Advanced scientific equipment for detection, development and examination of latent and other fingerprints have to be acquired by FPBx and installed for day-to-day use as per the recommendations of the Committee. Gadgets like comparators, high intensity light sources, various types of F.P. kits with UV and IR arrangements, good quality fluorescent powders and lenses, electrical fuming and developing chambers, microscopes, camera systems, Dust Print Lifters, analysers and Automated Finger Print Identification System etc. are being used in some FPBx in India, and

10-DIGIT FINGER PRINT SEARCH SLIPS: The recorded slips are useful in establishing the identity and proving the previous final history of persons arrested during the investigation of crime by a reference of these slips on record, known as search. Proof of previous conviction is necessary for enhanced punishment on subsequent convictions u/s 75 IPC. Criminals absconding after committing crimes or are wanted for specific offences are often traced with the help of their finger print slips during the process of search. These finger print slips are also of immense help in establishing the identity of dead bodies, thus developing leads and establishing motives; and are usually the first step in leading to the solution of a crime.

SCENE OF CRIME: One of the most important contributions sciences has made in the investigation of crime and administration of justice is the development of chance prints left behind by criminals at the scenes of crime and their identification. Despite all precautions, these prints are invariably left behind by criminals at the scene of crimes, or on crime articles. As these prints come directly from the body of a person, their development and identification help to establish his physical presence at the scene of crime. They, thus serve as a valuable connecting link between the crime and the criminal. A fragment of a print found at the scene of crime or on a crime article as long as it is inconsistent with the innocence is considered sufficient to convict a person for murder and sentence him to death.
