Amit Shah, who is on a two-day visit to West Bengal, inaugurated the new building of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) at Rajarhat in Kolkata.

In his address after the inauguration, Shah said, "The Indian government is creating a secure, transparent and evidence-based criminal justice system...it is necessary that those who stop crime should be two steps ahead of the criminals. Our criminal justice system is entering a new era."

He further pointed out that the central government in 2020 established the first National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU), way before the three new criminal laws - BNS, BNSS and BSA - came into force.
