Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG) extends forensic DNA analysis beyond conventional short tandem repeat (STR) profiling by using genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data to identify distant biological relatives when direct database matches are unavailable. Although IGG has proven effective in resolving cold cases in several countries, its application in India remains limited. This article evaluates the scientific feasibility, infrastructural demands, and ethical considerations of implementing IGG within the Indian forensic system, with particular attention to population diversity, endogamy, and limited representation in genealogical databases. The discussion highlights the need for populationspecific genomic datasets, legal clarity, and interdisciplinary capacity building. With appropriate safeguards and validation, IGG has the potential to serve as a complementary tool in advancing forensic genomics in India.
