Moreover, the DG reported that the agency has already compiled reports for 100 digital forensic cases within just one year. Work on phase two will begin soon.

Nationwide Expansion & Support

The National Forensics Laboratory will extend its support to all law-enforcement agencies across Pakistan’s provinces.
