Discussion
The chain of custody of all evidence must include the following details :
List
(i) Exhibit number
(ii) Item description
(iii) Location where the item was found
(iv) Name and signature of the person who collected the evidence
(v) Name of the victim
(vi) Case reference number, FIR, Date, Police station
Answer: B
The required details are (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi).
A chain-of-custody record exists to show who collected each exhibit, what it is, where it came from and which case it belongs to, so that its integrity can be proved in court. It therefore records the exhibit number, a description of the item, where it was found, the name and signature of the person who collected it, and the case reference (FIR number, date and police station). Each later transfer is then signed and dated.
The name of the victim (v) is not part of the custody record; it may not even be known, and the evidence is tracked by its exhibit and case numbers. Every option that includes (v) is therefore wrong, and the option leaving out (iii) drops a required detail.
