Background and objective: Study of lip Prints in Forensic Identification (Chelioscopy) deals with the study of grooves on the lips. Lip Prints are important tool for the individual identification as they are unique. This study aims at determining the lip print pattern as an adjunct to individual identification in crime investigation.
Aim and Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the lip print
pattern among the individuals in central India. Materials and Method: Hundred Individuals (50 males and 50 females) of age group 17-25 years were selected randomly. Dark coloured lipstick was applied on the upper and lower lips after which the lip print was taken on a bond paper. Lip print was then analysed with a magnifying glass.
Result:
Conclusion: although lip print patterns can be used for personal identification in forensics, more research in this direction needs to be conducted to confirm its uniqueness. Therefore, chelioscopy needs to be done on the larger sample size using new technology.
