ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
For the successful completion of this project, I would like to thank my
Crimes teacher Mr.D.K.Sharma. He made the concepts of the topic
so clear in my mind that it became very easy for me to work on the
topic. It would not have been possible to complete the project work
without his guidance.
I would also like to thank my elder sisters and my elder brother who were a
constant support throughout the project making.
Last, but not the least I would like to thank my Parents who stood by me
through every thick and thin.
