Crime Scene Cleanup and Biohazard Remediation Service
The Opportunity
High-profile crime cases like Jhanvi Kukreja's murder involve biological contamination (blood, bodily fluids) that families must address post-investigation. There is no formal, licensed cleanup service in Mumbai that handles crime scenes with sensitivity, proper disposal protocols, and documentation — families either hire untrained labour or leave properties unusable for months.
