The fingerprint technology of the Mumbai police has helped the Dadar GRP identify an unclaimed body found on the tracks 14 months ago. The Government Railway Police (GRP) had since been struggling to find who the man, until the new commissioner came to their rescue and told them to seek Finger Print Bureau's assistance.

The GRP had found the body on the tracks near platform number 3 of Dadar railway station in November 2018. "The person was taken to a nearby hospital where he was declared brought dead. The post-mortem report said it was a natural death. Since then, we had been trying to identify the body so we can hand it over to his relatives. The details were uploaded online to help find his identity but no one approached us," said Senior Inspector Prasad Pandhare of Dadar GRP.
