Notably, a sniffer dog is a dog that is trained to use its senses to detect substances such as explosives and illegal drugs.
They also detect contraband like illicit mobile phones.
In a popular case in India in June 2020, Ghaziabad police solved a murder case with the help of its two-and-a-half-year-old tracker dog.
Leena, who was trained at Indo Tibet Border Police training institute in Panchkula, gave police the crucial clue which solved the case.
Three suspects were arrested in the case and the police team investigating it and Leena were awarded by officials for their excellent work.
While the police team was awarded Rs 10,000 (£100), Leena was presented with a new leather strap and a velvet bed.
The case pertained to Vivek from Kushaliya village who went to work on the morning of May 31, 2020 but did not return home.
His body was found by the police in a field on June 1, 2020.
On June 2, 2020, police took tracker female dog Leena to the place where Vivek’s body was found.
Leena sniffed around for a while and then led the police team to a spot near the house of suspects, where they resided.
After getting the crucial clue from Leena, the police team roped in an informant and further investigation led to the arrest of the three suspects.
The suspects, Mohsin, Adil and Salman confessed that they had killed Vivek.
They confessed that Vivek’s motorcycle collided with their car which led to a heated argument between them.
In a rage, the three men killed Vivek and dumped his body.
They had also taken away Vivek’s motorcycle and mobile phone and both were recovered with help from Leena.
