For more than a decade, the Indian forensic community has been quietly suffering – not because of lack of talent, not because of lack of passion, but because of a few greedy individuals who built forensic institutes and companies only to serve themselves.
They promised to uplift the field. They promised opportunities. They promised to create a future for forensic students.
But what have they really done?
They filled their pockets.
They sold overpriced internships.
They ran expensive, meaningless courses.
They paid peanuts to the few employees they did hire.
And today, as the truth catches up with them, they are panicking. Instead of supporting young forensic enthusiasts, they are accusing, threatening, and intimidating anyone who dares to grow outside their control.
The Fear of Losing Control
These self-proclaimed "pioneers" are scared – and the fear is showing.
For years, they made money by offering services at sky-high costs. But now, new student-driven startups and small organisations are offering the same opportunities at a fraction of the price – often with more passion and genuine dedication to the field.
And what happens when greedy monopolies are threatened?
They lash out. They accuse. They threaten.
Instead of encouraging new organisations, instead of mentoring students, they try to crush them with fear.
The Disgusting Business Model
Let's break down their so-called "contribution" to the community:
Internships – charged at outrageous fees, designed more to exploit students' wallets than to teach them.
Courses – packaged at ridiculous costs, with no proportionate value or recognition.
Jobs? Barely any. And if you're "lucky" enough to get one, you'll probably earn 8,000–12,000 rupees a month.
The Shocking Reality
Yes, you read that right. After paying lakhs in education, after being promised a bright future, forensic graduates are offered salaries that don't even cover basic living costs.
And these so-called CEOs and Directors still dare to brag about their "contribution" to forensic science?
What contribution? Exploitation is not contribution.
Hypocrisy on Display
Recently, one such individual shamelessly took to LinkedIn to complain about students writing "forensic expert" in their bios.
Think about this for a second: Instead of mentoring students and guiding them, their solution was to demand a regulatory body and blame educational institutions for not "controlling" their students.
Really? Educational institutions should monitor what students write on LinkedIn? Should they control their personal lives too?
This is not only illogical and baseless, it is proof of just how disconnected and desperate these people have become.
They don't want to help students. They want to police them.
Yes, Some Student-Run Pages Are Wrong – But Don't Generalize!
Let's be fair and clear: Yes, I agree that there are some online pages and societies being run by students that are wrong. That should not happen.
But here's the bigger truth:
not every small organisation is run by students.
There are many new forensic organisations and startups that are working hard, genuinely putting in effort, and trying to build something meaningful for the community. These are not scams – they are the future.
So don't you dare lump everyone together.
Don't you dare threaten them.
Don't you dare accuse them or intimidate them just because their growth threatens your monopoly.
A responsible forensic professional should correct what's wrong and support what's right. But sadly, instead of guiding, these so-called "leaders" choose to attack, accuse, and spread fear.
That is not leadership. That is insecurity disguised as authority.
The Real Question: What Have You Done for Us?
To every Director, every CEO, every so-called pioneer of these institutes – answer this:
How many real jobs have you created for forensic graduates in India?
How many forensic professionals are you paying a decent salary to – not 8k, not 10k, but a living wage?
How many initiatives have you launched that truly advanced forensic science, instead of just your bank balance?
We all know the answer. Almost none.
Your so-called "contribution" has been nothing more than selling dreams at a premium and delivering crumbs.
Students, Wake Up!
To every forensic student, enthusiast, and young professional reading this – understand the game being played:
These people are not your mentors.
They are not your well-wishers.
They are not here to build your future.
They are here to profit off your passion.
Every overpriced internship, every high-cost course, every fake sympathetic post on LinkedIn – it's all a trap to keep you under their control.
They don't want you to grow. They don't want affordable opportunities to exist. They don't want new organisations to rise.
Because the moment you rise, their empire of lies crumbles.
The Real Shame
The sad truth is that the biggest obstacle to forensic growth in India is not lack of talent or infrastructure – it's these parasites who suppress students while pretending to protect them.
Shame on you for exploiting the very students who trusted you.
Shame on you for offering crumbs in the name of jobs.
Shame on you for attacking new organisations instead of supporting them.
Shame on you for being the loudest voice in the room while doing the least for forensic science in India.
A Final Call to Action
Forensic students, educators, enthusiasts – don't fall for their traps.
When you see their LinkedIn posts dripping with fake concern, ask yourself:
Who benefits from this?
Did they ever create real opportunities for us?
Or are they just trying to scare us into submission?
The answer is clear. They are scared. They are desperate. They are exposed.
The future of forensic science in India does not belong to them.
It belongs to you – the students, the innovators, the true enthusiasts who care about growth, not greed.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
No more exploitation.
No more threats.
No more lies.
The forensic community of India deserves better – and it will rise, not because of these parasites, but in spite of them.
