4 offenders exiled under Goonda Act
Jaipur: Four persons with a history of criminal activity were shunted out of Jaipur under provisions of the Rajasthan Goonda Act. The order, issued by DCP (North) Rashi Dogra Dudi, is part of an ongoing campaign to curb habitual offenders and reduce fear and intimidation in public spaces. Police said the four accused were directed to stay outside Jaipur district limits for a month. They were relocated to designated areas in Dausa district, where they must regularly report to the police station. Entry into any part of Jaipur district during the exile period is strictly prohibited without prior permission from the authorities. The action follows surveillance and profiling of repeat offenders who, police say, were involved in activities that create an atmosphere of fear in localities. "The objective is to disrupt their routine network and prevent further criminal incidents in the district," a police official said. The four accused were identified as Aslam Khan (50), a resident of Sharda Colony, under Jaisinghpura Khor police station; Chhotu Ram (44), a resident of Dhaba Ka Nala, Chimanpura, under Amber police station; Shahabuddin (38), a resident of Imam Chowk, Bas Badanpura, under Galta Gate police station; and Abid Hussain (48), a resident of Balaji Ki Kothi Ka Rasta, under Ramganj police station area. Most of these criminals are habitual offenders, police said.

Swipe to get heard: Police app to enable Delhiites to register complaints beyond theft and burglary
New Delhi: Aiming to modernise and streamline the process of reporting a crime, Delhi Police will soon bring out a mobile application that would enable citizens to alert cops and register complaints from the comfort of their homes with just a few clicks. The app is currently under development. According to police, its user-friendly interface will enable people to download the app, complete a one-time registration, and then lodge complaints conveniently — ranging from heinous crimes to minor street offences — without having to physically visit a police station. The feedback mechanism and status alert system would ensure proper follow-up and timely action, they said. Currently, people lodge online complaints in cases of burglary, theft and pickpocketing. For other matters, they prefer to visit the police station. Joint commissioner of police (vigilance) Aslam Khan said the app aims to simplify the complaint registration and investigation process, making it more efficient and transparent. "Citizens will no longer have to worry about visiting police stations or following up on their complaints. The innovative app will provide a seamless experience, ensuring justice is delivered quickly and effectively," he added. According to sources, Delhi Police's initiative is a significant step towards leveraging technology to improve public services and enhance citizen engagement. "The app will not only benefit citizens but police personnel too, as it will automate many of the manual processes involved in complaint registration and investigation. Inquiry officers will be able to upload documents directly to the app, which will then be sent to their superiors for review," said deputy commissioner of police (vigilance) Anyesh Roy. Complainants will receive SMS alerts and updates, including action taken reports. A speech-to-text feature is also integrated into the app to assist investigating officers in documenting reports efficiently. The mobile phone app is part of an advanced Integrated Petitions Monitoring System (IPMS), which is being prepared for implementation in the next six months. Currently, Delhi Police operates an Integrated Complaint Monitoring System (ICMS), a digital platform enabling citizens to lodge petitions online and officers to process and manage them effectively. The current complaint management system faces several critical limitations, impacting its effectiveness and user experience. Scalability is a major concern, as the system struggles to handle increasing complaint volumes efficiently. Moreover, the lack of robust data analytics hinders the ability to perform comprehensive trend analysis and informed decision-making. "Technologically, the system is missing advanced features, such as AI-driven optical character recognition (OCR) and intelligent document summarisation, which are essential for automating and streamlining petition processing. Role-based access monitoring is inadequate, causing workflow inefficiencies," said an officer. Furthermore, the absence of dedicated mobile platforms significantly restricts both officers and citizens from accessing the system conveniently or engaging in real-time interactions. Together, these challenges highlight the urgent need for technological upgrades and mobile solutions to improve scalability, enhance data-driven insights, and provide seamless access across devices. IPMS will feature web-based petition registration and the mobile app for easy petition submission, supporting multiple languages for wider accessibility. "Real-time petition tracking and notifications keep users informed. Officers benefit from a dedicated web dashboard and a mobile app for field use, enabling efficient petition management," said the officer. "The system includes role-based access control, petition assignment and streamlined workflow. Advanced AI-powered OCR and summarisation modules enhance document processing for officers. Additionally, performance dashboards and analytics on petition status, crime and criminals provide valuable insights for better decision-making and improved service delivery," the officer added.

Delhi Police cracks whip on its own over corruption; 5 arrested
Accepting a bribe to allow construction work at the residence of a retired police officer, settling a cheating case, and letting a meat shop operate — these are some of the crimes for which the Delhi Police has arrested five of its own personnel in the first four-and-a-half months of 2025. Four of these arrests were made in April alone. The arrests have been made under the Prevention of Corruption Act. Last year, the number of such arrests was 8. One case pertains to a Sub-Inspector (SI). On May 13, on the directions of the Delhi High Court, the SI from North Avenue police station was arrested after it came to light that he had allegedly demanded a bribe from an accused booked in a brawl case, offering to help him procure bail. The brawl was between two groups at RML Hospital and cross FIRs were lodged at North Avenue police station. On May 7, the HC heard the anticipatory bail plea of one of the accused, a proclaimed offender, said police. During the hearing, his counsel told the court that the investigating officer, the SI — who was in court — was blackmailing his client's relatives and demanding a bribe to help the accused get anticipatory bail. As evidence, the counsel produced 11 printouts of screenshots of chats between the SI and the accused's sister-in-law. The SI admitted in court that the printouts reflected his cellphone number. Police said some of the printouts were of a screenshot of a Paytm transaction of money transferred to a person as directed by the SI. Following this, the HC directed that appropriate action be taken against the SI in accordance with the law, and he was arrested. In another incident, police said a head constable was arrested on April 15 for allowing a meat shop to operate in Paschim Vihar West by allegedly accepting a Rs 1 lakh bribe. On April 14, an ASI was arrested on April 14 for allegedly demanding Rs 2 lakh for allowing construction work at the residence of a retired police personnel, police said. When contacted, Additional CP Aslam Khan said, 'The Delhi Police has a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption. Apart from the multiple channels we have for people to approach us, we also hold public hearings so people can share their grievances.' Officials in the Vigilance branch said they receive around 80-100 complaints a day via WhatsApp, and helpline numbers. 'We receive written complaints… people also walk in to file complaints… Sometimes, we receive tip-offs on phones, after which flying squads swing into action. Not all complaints are converted into FIRs because some don't have the required evidence… some don't meet the criteria to be investigated by the Vigilance Branch and are transferred to the district police,' said an officer.
