But instead of using the traditional methods, if some unconventional methods could be used which have higher significance in latent prints development and identification; will be a great help in forensic investigation. In this study, 30 samples for each development were collected from the NCR area in a low temperature. For the development of prints present at various surfaces, four unconventional methods (gram flour, coffee powder, vermillion, Heena) were used. The developed prints were clear, identifiable which were having all the information (individual and class characteristics) about an individual to be nabbed.
