In this study thumb prints of 100 medical students of GMC, Latur were taken and correlated with their blood groups. In the study blood group B (39%) was the commonest ABO group, Rh + ve (92%) was commonest Rh system. Amongst the finger print patterns- Loops were most common (64%), whorls were second commonest (31%), the study suggests an association between finger print patterns and blood groups. Blood group B showed more Loops (28%) and blood group A (9%) showed more whorls. Our aim is to help investigating agencies by providing a clue in crime detection by fixing probable culprit. We can find out probable blood group of accused if we find chanced finger print and vice-versa.
