Criminals often attempt to conceal blood-stained weapons used in violent crimes, making forensic evidence crucial in solving cases. This study explores the recovery and extraction of trace DNA from sports equipment, including cricket bats, table tennis racquets, and hockey sticks, which are frequently implicated in such incidents. Our research evaluates various double swab collection methods for retrieving trace DNA from these sports items, emphasizing those associated with blunt force trauma.

- The study examined 17 Y-chromosomal STRs in 493 unrelated individuals from four Pakistani ethnic groups: Baloch, Pathan, Punjabi, and Sindhi, to analyze forensic parameters and genetic structure.
- Eighty-two distinct haplotypes were identified, with haplotype diversity values ranging from 0.9906 in Baloch to 0.9957 in Pathans, indicating significant genetic variation within these groups.
- The results suggest that these populations share genetic similarities with Central Asian and Northern Indian regions, and the low gene diversity may be influenced by endogamy practices.
