Site characterization through soil sample of different ghats of allahabad for forensic consideration

Dr. Mishra, M.K. and Kamakhya Kumari

Abstract: 

Now days it is significant to utilize amalgamation of independent analytical techniques. In order, to truly portray or characterize between different samples of geological micro evidence in culprit examination. Ganga and Yamuna are the two major rivers of India which after flowing through different regions meets at a common region called Sangam of Uttar Pradesh. Aarael, Saraswati, Kali mandir and Gau are the Ghats of Yamuna River while Ram, Sangam, Kali and Dashashvamedh are the Ghats of Ganga River at Allahabad. The geology of the region is intricate and numerous substances are carried by the Ganga and Yamuna River and leave behind in the region. To characterize these Ghats for forensic consideration (including criminal and environmental), soil samples were accumulated from various Ghats of Yamuna River such as Aarael Ghat, Saraswati Ghat, Kali Mandir Ghat, Gau Ghat and Ghats of Ganga Ram Ghat, Sangam Ghat, Kali Ghat and Dashashvamedh Ghat, examined using a combination of forensic geological techniques principally colour, odor, particle size distribution, pH, microscopical observation, sedimentation duration, density determination and chemical examination. In the study, the result established give out homogenous data throughout the profile in all the characteristics analyzed. The research indicate that the amalgamation of different, autonomous techniques used to characterize sediments from the both river banks can accord significantly to future forensic investigation.
