2012 Gangrape Case Verdict highlights: Scientific evidence sealed fate of death-row convicts, says Supreme Court

Scientific evidence sealed fate of death-row convicts: SC
Scientific and forensic evidence like DNA, finger prints and bite marks analysis, sealed the fate of the four convicts in the 16 December, 2012 gangrape and murder case as the Supreme Court termed them accurate.
The top court said while while DNA report "cogently linked" each of these accused with the victim and the crime scene, the finger print analysis "incontrovertibly proves" that one of the convicts, Vinay Sharma, was present in the bus at the time of the barbaric incident.

Regarding Odontology, a branch of forensic science on bite mark analysis, a bench headed by Justice Dipak Misra said the report placed on record was "wholly credible" because of the matching of bite marks with the tooth structure of the convicts and there was no reason to view them with any suspicion.
