In July 2017, on the basis of forensic odontology , a 45-year-old man, Shrinivas Saryadu , who kidnapped and raped a 6-year-old girl , was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in jail. The child was unable to identify the accused as his face was covered, but the doctor used computer-based comparison techniques and concluded that the bite marks on the victim’s lips matched the teeth pattern of the accused.
