Q. Consider the following statements regarding the National Automated Fingerprint Identification System (NAFIS): - It creates a unique 16-digit national fingerprint number (NFN) for every person arrested for a crime in India.
- It has been developed by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Answer:
Only 2
Notes: NAFIS provides a nationwide platform for identification of crime-related fingerprints and is developed by the NCRB. However, the system assigns a unique 10-digit, not a 16-digit, National Fingerprint Number (NFN) to each arrested person. Hence, only Statement 2 is correct, while Statement 1 is factually incorrect.
