The Pune police have acquired a universal forensics extraction device, a licensed software product from an Israeli company, for extraction and analysis of data from cellphones for digital investigation of crimes. The software, which costs Rs 10 lakh, will help reduce reliance on forensic science labs for data analysis in cases where faster investigation is needed, especially in cybercrimes and economic offences.
