Bangalore: The Karnataka government has decided to dismiss Dr S Malini, the controversial assistant director of the forensic science lab in Bangalore. The move comes following charges of irregularities against her.
The Karnataka Police had found that Dr Malini, considered to be one of the best in the country, has been involved in many controversies.
Recently, the Kerala High Court remarked that she committed irregularities in the narco investigations into the Sister Abhaya murder case.
During earlier occasions she was also accused of leaking information to the media. She even reportedly forged her date of birth certificate to get the job.
The decision to dismiss Malini was announced in the legislative council by state Home Minister VS Acharya.
Meanwhile, the Opposition has demanded that all cases investigated by her should be reexamined.
Malini has been involved in the investigations into the Malegaon blasts, the Hyderabad Mecca Masjid blasts and the Bangalore serial blasts.
She also conducted narco tests on Sabauddin and other SIMI activists allegedly involved in recent terror strikes.
The forensic expert was part of the Telgi investigations too and many high profile murder cases like the Arushi Talwar case.
