Karnataka designates Bowring Hospital as a nodal centre for DNA profiling of victims from the state who are missing in Nepal, according to multiple reports. The move is aimed at identifying missing individuals by comparing DNA samples with those of relevant contacts.
The sources describe the centre-setting as part of the state’s effort to address unresolved cases linked to events in Nepal. While the reports focus on the establishment of the DNA profiling facility and its role as a coordinating hub, they differ mainly in how they frame the development—one outlet emphasizes the formal “nodal centre” designation for DNA profiling, while another highlights that the state is setting up a dedicated facility for the missing victims.
Overall, all accounts agree on the key purpose: providing a structured mechanism for DNA-based identification for Karnataka victims reported missing in Nepal, through Bowring Hospital’s designated role.
