Computer Forensics
In today’s ever changing criminal world the use of computers for fraud and the pursuit of other crimes has increased to dramatic proportions. NR3C-FIA is a specialized department to deal with the computer crime. Computer crime is not only about fraud – online or otherwise – it also encompasses areas such as pornography, child sex abuse and the sale of black market goods online. The wide range of data content present in hard drives is potential evidence if seized from a crime scene.

NR3C has state of the art computer forensic facility, and posses leading forensic experts to deal with all computer related crimes.
Mobile Forensics
The increased utility of mobile devices such as smart phones has leveraged the criminals to communicate and use digital application, resultantly storing tremendous amount of data on the device. Criminals use smart phones for a number of activities such as committing fraud over e-mail, harassment through text messages, trafficking of child pornography, communications related to narcotics, etc. The data stored on smart phones is extremely useful to forensic analysts through the course of an investigation. The forensic acquisition, analysis and presentation of data content stored on mobile devices is known as Mobile Forensics. NR3C since inception has dealt with numerous mobile forensic cases, and also facilitates other government installations on such technical assistance.
Video Forensics
