Mangalprasad Kodarlal Modi, a retired government officer from the Police Department in Ahmedabad, has held an extraordinary record since 1971. Born on April 12, 1947, Modi became the youngest topper in the prestigious Fingerprint Experts Science Examination at the age of just 24. The exam, conducted by the All India Board Examination in Calcutta (now Kolkata), tests the expertise of fingerprint specialists across India.
This remarkable achievement remains unbeaten to this day, as confirmed by World Records India on April 12, 2023. Modi’s record stands as a testament to his exceptional skill and dedication to forensic science early in his career.
His legacy continues to inspire aspiring forensic experts and law enforcement professionals throughout the country.
