These will be retained by the National Crime Records Bureau for 75 years.<\/p>\n<p>There, however, is lack of clarity on whom the bill will include. As far as bio samples are concerned the consent of arrested individual is mandatory, except when offence is a sexual offence or provides for a minimum punishment of 7 years. However, in practical application this right could get lost as awareness levels remain low and few can count on a pre-trial \u2018right to remain silent\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Way forward: <\/strong>DNA and biometric grabs are valuable crime-solving aids today.
