Gun Powder Residue becomes a problem for police
X
Days after the encounter that eliminated the four rapists who had brutally raped and then killed veterinarian Disha, doubts are slowly emerging about the way the encounter was staged. The key question is did the four rapists snatch the guns of the police? Did any one of them fired at the police? The NHRC and the forensic experts are now trying to collect the GSR from the swabs of the victims' fingers.

GSR or Gun Shot Residue is the powder from the cartridge that emanates after the gun shot is fired. This fine powder settles in the space between the thumb and the index finger. This can actually tell whether the said person had actually fired the gun or not. If there is no residue on the fingers, it only means that the victim did not fire. So, why did the police fire on those who have not attacked him? This demolishes the whole story that the police have built. So, there are some anxious moments for the police now.

If the forensic lab says there is no gunshot residue, then there is going to be trouble for the police. The whole story that the police fired in self-defence would be completely trashed. Gunshot residue will establish who has actually fired on the police. So, some anxious moments for the police now after all the adulation that followed the encounter.
