LITERATURE REVIEW

4. Films and other entertainment programs, including web-based serials
(OTT platform) have also been brought under the ambit of censorship and

they must mention the context, theme, tone and target audience while
applying for clearance.

5. Any electronic media which may portray discrimination, psychotropic

substances, liquor, smoking and tobacco, imitable criminal and violent be-
haviour, bad language and obscenity would qualify for a higher category of

classification.

Myth - Evidence can be collected from the crime
scene using whatever method and the evidence

will still reveal a lot of things.

Fact - Evidence collection is a very crucial pro-
cess which has to be followed properly. If the

evidence is not properly collected using the

standard method, it will not be considered by
the court and it leads to unnecessary wastage of

evidence.

Myth - Crime scene photography is the only method

of documentation done.

Fact - Crime scenes are usually documented using

sketches, notes, photography and videography.
