Cardano Blockchain Tracks Forensic Evidence in Uttar Pradesh Cases

Cardano’s blockchain is serving as a verification layer for forensic evidence in active criminal cases in Uttar Pradesh, where police use a conventional application to record evidence scans and laboratory results.

The Cardano Foundation announced the deployment Nov. 9. TrivolveTech developed the Forensic Management System (FMS) with Quixy. Police staff scan secure QR codes on evidence boxes through the FMS application, and each scan is associated with the handler responsible for that step.

A shared case number can expose evidence to interference as it moves between officers and laboratories. The FMS instead assigns unique identifiers to individual handlers, limiting the ability to connect records from different stages of an investigation.

The system anchors cryptographic hashes to Cardano. These digital fingerprints let investigators check whether recorded information has changed. The blockchain record creates a trace of evidence handling, but it does not establish whether evidence was collected properly or prevent physical tampering.

“Police evidence handling depends on trust between departments that are deliberately kept separate,” said Rahul Konudula, TrivolveTech’s founder and CEO. “Each handler now works from an identifier meaningful only to their own step, and every scan becomes a permanent record on Cardano.”

The FMS is separate from a Police Force Management System proposal seeking 9.6 million of Cardano’s native token, ADA, in treasury funding.
