It is one of the oldest and most reliable methods of identification. The present study was conducted to correlate between digital fingerprintpatterns with respect to ABO blood grouping system and to evaluate their significance in the field of forensic science. This study was carried on the fingerprints of about 230 subjects (122 malesand 108females) belonging to the age group 18-35 were taken from Haryana, north India. In this study Rh-negative was found 6.08% of the total population. The majority of the subjects in this population belongs to blood group O (40%) followed by B (35.2%), A (15.2%) and AB (9.56%).Loop pattern was found in highest frequency in both right and left thumb fingerprint patterns which was 50.2% followed by whorls 47.6% and Arches 2.17% predominant.In male blood group O and whorl pattern was predominant but in female blood group O was found in highest frequency.
