Chief Minister MK Stalin launched the facility and handed it over to the state police chief.
Tamil Nadu has become the first State in the country to get its own ‘forensic DNA profile search tool’.
It was developed by the State Forensic Sciences Department.
The tool will come in handy for gathering profiles of victims of human trafficking; identifying missing children; tracking criminals from other States, unidentified bodies, profiles of history-sheeters, and people who die in natural disasters.
DNA is one of the 14 wings of the State Forensic Sciences Department.
