Crime AI an end-to-end investigation tool
"Currently, the NCRP complaint system relies on manual complaint submission through self-registration on the portal or through the 1930 helpline. It lacks intelligent classification, real-time tracking and streamlined investigation capabilities for complex fraud cases," said the startup's founder, Meet Bisht, a BTech in cybersecurity from Parul University and a cyber expert who worked closely with Gujarat Police. "Manual data entry is prone to human error. Often, minute details are missing from complaints as cyberfraud victims are often unaware of what is needed like the crime category or subcategory or transaction IDs," Bisht said. "As this process is time-consuming, by the time a complaint is lodged, the stolen funds have been layered through multiple accounts and recovery either becomes difficult or is only partial. There is also workload duplication for LEAs as the same fraudsters/accounts appear in multiple cases with no linkage," Bisht added. Crime AI was proposed as a solution at the IndiaAI I4C Cyber Guard AI Hackathon — the national competition organized by the India AI Mission in collaboration with the I4C. "Crime AI is a smart, end-to-end cybercrime investigation portal with AI classification, optical character recognition (OCR), voice processing and LEA workflow management features," said Bisht, whose team of young innovators, Rohit Ganaka and Yukta Chauhan, bagged Rs 3 lakh in funding after winning the third prize at the hackathon. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Health Plans for 2025 – Start Here Search7 Learn More Undo The AI classification in Crime AI auto-detects complaint category and subcategory using natural language processing. "The OCR-powered document analysis feature extracts text from screenshots, PDFs and images uploaded by complainants and auto-fills in the fields of the form from the evidence files," he said. Through audio transcription, voice complaints are converted into structured text. This feature detects and extracts entities like names, amounts, banks and fraud types, among others," said Bisht, adding that currently, the AI model supports more than 15 Indian languages. "With this model, law enforcement agencies, including those at district, state or national level, can even ask banks or payment gateways to freeze funds or put liens on accounts if there is a complaint of fraud," said Bisht.

Uttar Pradesh Bolsters Farming Future with Centres of Excellence backed by international expertise
1 2 Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh is heading to cement its place as a hub for cutting-edge agriculture practices and currently ranks second in India for Centres of Excellence (CoEs) powered by Indo-Israel-Dutch technology, said Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Horticulture, Dinesh Pratap Singh. Centers, located in Mirzapur, Bundelkhand, and Barabanki, are focusing on dragon fruit, citrus fruits, and flower-vegetable cultivation with the help of new techniques and international expertise to rural heartlands. In Jhansi's Barua Sagar, the CoE for citrus is gearing up at the Horticulture and Training Center. "Israeli experts, under the Indo-Israel project, are bringing their world-renowned knowledge to guide farmers in growing limes, lemons, kinnows, and grapefruits. This marks another milestone for Uttar Pradesh, which already ranks second in India for CoE built with Indo-Israel technology," said minister Dinesh Pratap Singh. While in Barabanki's Sonikpur village, nestled in the Trivediganj development block of Haidergarh tehsil, the first-ever Indo-Dutch CoE for vegetables and flowers is taking shape. Experts from the Netherlands have already visited, their boots crunching on the soil as they surveyed the site, sharing know-how on advanced cultivation methods. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning... Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Click Here Undo Similarly, in Mirzapur's Deori-Kala village, the CoE for Dragon fruit is being set up at a government farm in Marihan tehsil. The Indian Horticultural Research Institute in Bangalore and Agricultural University in Kota, Rajasthan, are lending their expertise to introduce farmers to the exotic, vibrant dragon fruit and even dates. The center will showcase everything from planting to harvesting, helping farmers diversify and tap into growing markets for these high-value crops. "These centers aren't just fields and greenhouses—they're hubs of learning. Each one offers demonstrations and training on the latest crop varieties and techniques, from production to market. Farmers can walk through, see modern methods in action, and adopt them to boost productivity, diversify crops, and replace outdated practices with profitable ones," added minister. The state's existing CoEs—located in Basti (fruits and vegetables), Kannauj (vegetables), Saharanpur (fruits and vegetables), and Alambagh, Lucknow (ornamental plants)—have already set benchmarks. The six upcoming centers will specialize in fruits (Kaushambi), vegetables (Chandauli), honey (Saharanpur and Rae Bareli), and aeroponics potatoes (Hapur and Kushinagar), further expanding the state's agricultural portfolio. The Horticulture Department's achievements extend beyond CoEs. In 2022, it produced 76 lakh quality saplings in government nurseries. Now, with 150 hi-tech nurseries, the state aims to churn out 28 crore saplings annually—a 30-fold capacity increase in three years. An International Potato Research Center in Agra is also in the works, promising to elevate potato farming with global standards. Mango farmers, a backbone of Uttar Pradesh's economy, are set to benefit from innovative practices. "We're using paper bags to protect mangoes from chemicals and insects, ensuring premium quality for export," Singh explained. A planned Integrated Testing Treatment Park near Jewar will test and treat produce to meet international standards, opening markets worldwide.
