Haryana tops in digital policing ranking again, 17th time in 20 months
Director General of Police (DGP) Shatrujeet Kapur congratulated the entire CCTNS team and said, 'This success is a result of Haryana Police's new approach, improved working methods, and effective use of modern technology'.
'This achievement reflects the new thinking and professional approach of Haryana Police, where technology has been made an integral part of policing. Digital platforms like CCTNS and the National Automated Fingerprint Identification System (NAFIS) have accelerated the processes of criminal identification, transparent investigation, and timely justice delivery to citizens. With this dedication and teamwork, the Haryana Police will continue to set benchmarks in modern and smart policing across the country,' DGP Kapur said.
Sibash Kabiraj, Director of the State Crime Records Bureau (SCRB), said the objective of CCTNS is to develop a fully digital and integrated system for crime investigation, criminal tracking, and case management. 'Several major changes have been implemented over the last two years to enhance technical efficiency and streamline processes within SCRB. As a result of these efforts, the Haryana Police have secured the first position nationwide 17 times in the last 20 months'.
Kabiraj stated that Haryana Police have delivered excellent performance across various parameters in the monthly ranking released by the Central Government. 'While the state secured the third position nationwide with a score of 99.99 per cent in August and September 2024, it maintained the first position with a perfect 100 per cent score in other months. Today, all police stations in the state are connected to CCTNS, and all operations such as First Information Reports, Non-Cognizable Reports, medico-legal cases, missing persons, lost property, unclaimed items, unknown dead bodies, foreign registration, preventive actions, investigations, complaints, and progress reports are recorded and monitored entirely in digital form,' Kabiraj said.
He hailed the Haryana Police for scaling new heights through the use of technology in criminal identification and solving complex cases. Since 2022, millions of fingerprints have been uploaded on the NAFIS software, and they have been matched with records of arrested accused and unidentified dead bodies, he mentioned.
'A significant number of fingerprint matches have been successfully found with criminal records. Chance prints collected from crime scenes were successfully uploaded and verified on NAFIS. As a result of this technological success, 93 serious criminal cases have been solved, including 22 murder cases. Additionally, 29 unidentified dead bodies have been identified through the NAFIS system', Kabiraj added.
To equip police personnel with the effective use of technology, Haryana Police had organised 72 workshops. 'The impact of modern technology is also visible in the field of cybercrime. On the National Cyber Helpline 1930, Haryana Police achieved a 100 per cent score, meaning every single call was attended promptly and immediate action was ensured,' a state police spokesperson said.

After Delhi, Rajasthan Court Orders Removal Of Stray Dogs
Walking around the desert state of Rajasthan, you may not find dogs taking a stroll and barking at people or cattles resting in the middle of the road, as the High Court orders the removal of stray dogs and other animals from city roads. The Rajasthan High Court passed this direction in a suo motu plea, wherein the court took cognisance of dog bite incidents and the menace of stray animals causing deaths in the state. This comes after the Supreme Court on Monday ordered all stray dogs to be removed from Delhi-NCR localities following repeated instances of dog bites leading to deaths. The order extends to Noida, Gurugram and Ghaziabad. On August 11, the Rajasthan High Court directed municipal bodies to remove stray dogs and other animals from city roads while ensuring that minimum physical harm is caused to them. The court clarified that anyone who comes in the way of the municipal bodies from removing stray animals from the roads/colonies/public paths, will face action. Municipal officials and employees have been given a free hand to act, including lodging First Information Report (FIR) against people coming in the way of their work, obstructing public servants from performing their duties. A division bench of Justice Kuldeep Mathur and Justice Ravi Chirania, while issuing a slew of directions, said, "The Municipal bodies shall also undertake a special drive to remove stray dogs and other animals from city roads while ensuring that minimum physical harm is caused to them. If an individual or a group of persons obstruct the employees of Municipalities from discharging their duties in removing the stray animals from the roads/colonies/public paths, then Municipal Officials/employees will be free to take appropriate action against them under the relevant Municipal Laws including lodging of the FIRs for obstructing public servants from performing their duties." Immediate action is sought from Jodhpur Municipal Corporation in removing stray animals from the premises of AIIMS, Jodhpur and the district court - the two places that witness heavy footfall. The National Highways Authority and the State Highways Authority is directed to regularly patrol highways and ensure free vehicular movements. The court also asked the Municipal Corporation to release numbers or email addresses for citizens to lodge complaints against stray animals. In case any citizen wants to feed stray animals, they shall do so at the shelter home or cattle ponds, the court added. "We expect from the general public that if due to their sentiments or religious believes or for love towards the animals, they want to feed them or offer food or take care of them, then they shall perform such activities at dog shelters and cattle ponds/ Gaushalas maintained by the Municipalities or private individual/organization," the court said. The Additional Advocate General (AAG) has been asked to file a detailed report on the condition and maintenance of dog shelters and cattle ponds. The matter is listed next for September 8.

J-K Police raid 8 locations in Srinagar in case of Kashmiri Pandit nurse killed 35 years ago
Reopening the case of the brutal murder of a 27-year-old Kashmiri Pandit nurse more than three decades ago, the Jammu and Kashmir Police Special Investigation Agency (SIA) late Monday conducted raids at multiple locations to gather evidence. Officials said SIA searched eight locations across Srinagar district in connection with the killing of Sarla Bhatt, who was abducted from the Habba Khatoon Hostel of the Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) in Soura on April 18, 1990. Bhatt's body was found dead the next morning with bullet wounds at Umar Colony, Mallabagh. According to sources in J-K Police, Bhatt was abducted and killed by terrorists affiliated with the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF). A note labelling her as a police informant was found on her body. A First Information Report (FIR) was registered at the Nigeen Police Station, but the investigation at the time 'could not bring out the actual perpetrators'. Police sources said Bhatt had defied militant diktats to Pandits to quit government jobs and leave the Valley, and had openly challenged the JKLF's authority, which led to her killing. Her family, they added, faced threats even after her death, with locals warning them against attending her cremation. The case was transferred to SIA last year. The searches, police sources said, have led to the recovery of 'incriminating evidence' that will help 'unearth the whole terrorist conspiracy' with the aim of delivering justice to Bhatt and her family. The sources said the raids were part of efforts by the SIA to fulfil the J-K administration's resolve to identify and prosecute those behind 'heinous terror acts' of the 1990s.
