History

Historical Context

In 2003, the United Arab Emirates passed Federal Law No. 3 on Criminal Evidence, mandating DNA profiling for investigations and creating a database. The Sharjah Police, using that law, matched DNA in a 2005 murder of Ramesh Patel, securing convictions and recovering 85 percent of evidence. Today's discovery of Alwin Prakash Kunder’s remains, identified through DNA matching, echoes that precedent, as investigators rely on the same legal framework. The case underscores the law’s impact, prompting Sharjah authorities to expedite FIR filing and coordinate with Indian Embassy for repatriation, reinforcing cooperation.
