Question 1

Is Aksh Forensics an independent consultancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Aksh Forensics is a private, independent forensic science consultancy. We are not affiliated with any government laboratory or investigative agency, and our conclusions are governed only by the evidence.

Question 2

How is confidentiality maintained?

Accepted Answer

Engagements are governed by strict confidentiality. Information is shared only with authorised representatives of the instructing party, and evidence is stored under tiered access with documented chain-of-custody.

Question 3

Can your reports be used in court?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our reports are written to be reasoned, reproducible and defensible. Where required, our examiners can provide expert testimony and support cross-examination.

Question 4

What forensic disciplines do you currently cover?

Accepted Answer

Questioned document examination, fingerprint examination, crime scene investigation, fire and arson investigation, and insurance investigation. Additional disciplines including cyber forensics and voice/audio forensics are in development.

Question 5

How is evidence received and stored?

Accepted Answer

Evidence is received under documented chain-of-custody using tamper-evident packaging. It is logged on receipt, stored under controlled access, and returned or disposed of in accordance with agreed protocols.

Question 6

Do you accept engagements from individual private clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes, subject to a confidentiality and conflict-of-interest review. Many private matters — wills, signatures, family documents — are well suited to independent forensic examination.

Question 7

How long does a typical examination take?

Accepted Answer

Turnaround depends on the discipline, evidence quantity and complexity. Indicative timelines are confirmed at the consultation stage, and urgent matters can often be prioritised.

Question 8

Will you take an engagement where a particular outcome is expected?

Accepted Answer

No. Engagements are accepted only on the basis that our conclusions will follow the evidence. This is the foundation of an independent forensic report.

Question 9

Do you provide training for police, lawyers or insurers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our Training & Capacity Building programmes are delivered on-site, online and as hands-on workshops for police, legal professionals, insurers, banks, universities and corporates.
