Introduction

Revolutionizing forensic evidence management with blockchain technology

The forensic sector plays a critical role in maintaining law and order by providing accurate, secure, and tamper-proof evidence. In Nepal, the National Forensic Science Laboratory (NFSL) is central to this process, handling sensitive information that requires the highest standards of integrity and trust.

Traditional systems, however, face challenges such as data tampering, loss of chain-of-custody, and delays in inter-agency communication. To address these challenges, we designed and implemented a Blockchain-Based Forensic System that ensures transparency, security, and efficiency across the entire case lifecycle — from police reporting to judiciary verdicts.
