In February this year, the Yogi government has appointed him the director of the State Institute for Forensic Sciences being built in the capital.

He has also written four books on crime research.

Once, Mr. Goswami had told media that he had got the DNA fingerprint test done for the first time in Uttar Pradesh. While posted in Varanasi, a 21-year-old tourist from New Zealand was raped and murdered and her body was buried in the house. After five months, he exhumed the body from the grave and identified the accused with the help of forensic techniques.
