Metro cable thefts: Four members of inter-state gang arrested in Gandhinagar
Four members of the inter-state Khekda gang were arrested on Saturday in connection with the theft of 700 metres of wire cabling, worth Rs 17.85 lakh, from the metro station near the Juna Koba Metro station in Gandhinagar on June 2, said Gandhinagar police. Police identified the accused as Musharraf Irshad Mulejat (32), Rashid Ishaq Ishmael Dhobi (21), Rashid Abdulaziz Shabbir Ansari (45) and Irshad Majid Allahmehar Malik Teli (33), all residents of Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh The theft had come to the fore late night on June 2 after the IPL cricket match got over, said police. The Juna Koba Metro station falls in the jurisdiction of Infocity police station. Soon after the theft, SP Ravi Teja Vasamsetty had set up four teams, including officials from the Local Crime Branch (LCB) to crack the case. While probing the CCTV footage, the police identified two suspicious looking vehicles, said officials. After the police managed to extract the registration plates of the two vehicles, they found the owner of the vehicles who gave them the names of the accused persons, said the police. Meanwhile, the LCB personnel received a tip-off about the accused being present in Kalol town of Gandhinagar. The police reached the spot and arrested the accused while recovering several pieces of the copper cables. The accused have been arrested under BNSS Sections 35(1)(e) (right to arrest without warranty) 35(1)(e) (right to arrest without warranty) and 106(1) (seizure of property). A statement from Gandhinagar Police on Saturday said that when the four men were questioned, they allegedly revealed 'the role of a total 13 persons involved in the theft of the cables'. The accused also confessed to have stolen copper cables from the Shahpur Metro station on May 22, said the police statement. According to the police, one of the accused — Masoom Yasin Malik — along with another set of thieves, was involved in stealing cables from Gyaspur Metro station. Apart from theft of Metro cables in Gujarat, the accused also allegedly confessed to theft of the same material from Metro projects across the country. The accused have carried out similar theft 14 times in Delhi; 12 times in Pune and six times in Panvel of Navi Mumbai, both in Maharashtra. They also confessed to thefts in Indore and Bhopal of Madhya Pradesh. The Gandhinagar police named 11 others, still absconding, as part of this Khekda gang. One of the accused, identified as Raja Qureshi, said the police, was allegedly involved in almost all the thefts across various states. He was also their buyer and financed the thefts, said the police. Modus Operandi The Gandhinagar police said that the accused used to target Metro projects across India. They would first book hotel rooms near the stations and hire cars. They would then approach a real estate broker to rent a house where they could stash their stolen material, said the police. They would then conduct their reconnaissance along the Metro route. After deciding on an appropriate spot, they would park their rented vehicles near a pillar and use a tree to make a zipline to the top of the pillar to reach the tracks, according to the police. They would then cut the cables using large cutters and load them onto their vehicles and hide the loot in their rented house, said the police. They would then make the effort to pry the copper cabling from the rubber insulation, pack it in parcels and then send them to Delhi in parcels through the railways. They would then sell it in Delhi, said the police. A police probe into the matter is ongoing and the cops are trying to arrest the other members of the gang in coordination with police officials in other states.

Rajasthan, Delhi police start recording iris, retina, fingerprints of all arrestees under 2022 law; no DNA collection yet
Police in Rajasthan and Delhi have become the first in the country to record, store and analyse biometric data such as the fingerprints, and retina and iris scans of all those whom they arrest, as well as some others accused of a crime. Due to the limitations of forensic capabilities, the collection of DNA, likely drawn from blood samples, is yet to be rolled out, police officials said. These biometric samples are being collected since March this year in compliance with the Criminal Procedure Identification Act (CrPI), which was passed by Parliament in 2022 and has now come into effect on a pilot basis in Delhi and Rajasthan after three years. DNA guidelines being developed The Act enables the police and Central investigating agencies to collect, store and analyse physical and biological samples, including the fingerprints, and scans of the retina and iris of all arrestees. Though the Act and its Rules do not explicitly mention the collection of DNA samples and face-matching procedures, the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) has informed State police officials that such measures will also be rolled out in around 1,300 locations spread across police districts, commissionerates, and Special Investigation Units at State headquarters. The NCRB, which comes under the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, has been tasked with implementing the Act and has finalised the Standard Operating Procedure to be followed by police officials while recording such data. Such guidelines have been completed for the collection of finger-impressions, palm-prints, footprints, photographs, iris and retina scans, physical and biological samples and their analysis, and behavioural attributes including signatures, handwriting or any other examination. The NCRB has held meetings with forensic laboratories to finalise the DNA loci pointers to be used in DNA profiling under the Criminal Procedure (Identification) System, which it has developed. 'Forensic, logistic capabilities needed' Rajasthan Director General of Police U.R. Sahoo told The Hindu that the Act has been implemented in some police districts. 'The DNA samples are yet to be collected and stored. It requires huge forensic capabilities and logistics, which does not exist presently. The other provisions of the CrPI Act have been rolled out. The data is being stored in a central server,' Mr. Sahoo said. A Delhi Police official said that such data is being recorded for all accused persons, irrespective of whether they have been arrested or not. According to Section 35(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, the police can issue a notice to a person to join the investigations even when their arrest is not immediately required. Under the National Automated Fingerprint Identification System (NAFIS), another project maintained and managed by NCRB, workstations and scanners have been put up at around 1,300 police stations. Its database contains fingerprint details, along with a unique 10-digit number, for over one crore people who have been accused or convicted of a crime across the country.
