Following an RTI that revealed the sorry state of affairs in the city's only college for Forensic Science Education — Institute of Forensic Science (IFS) — the Maharashtra Lokayukta has demanded a report from the Higher and Technical Education director.

An RTI earlier had revealed how all eleven posts for professors and associate professors are currently vacant. There are 23 sanctioned posts for assistant professors of which seven are vacant and contractual teachers occupy five. The courses too are not generating much interest with many seats going vacant.

A source who filed the original RTI that brought matters out in the open said, "I had filed RTI with Forensic Institute at Fort and found that many posts are lying vacant. Students were also showing disinterest with many seats are also lying vacant. There is a lack of co-ordination between Home Department and Higher and Technical Education Department. The Forensic lab of Kalina falls under Home Department and the institute falls under Higher Technical Education Department."
