How Crime Kundli may help cops end dual lives
New Delhi: has made a significant move to step up its crime control capabilities with the introduction of a consolidated system that integrates data points, including biometric information, to provide a comprehensive platform to its personnel for accessing information on criminals. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This web-based desktop software, named Crime Kundli, enables police personnel across all districts and units to access a vast repository of data on criminals, including seven types of biometric data: fingerprints, face, iris, voice, handwriting, footprint, and tattoos. The inclusion of voice, footprint, and full iris scan features will further aid in identifying suspects, sources said. "The system's advanced search and upload features will allow for efficient matching of biometric data, reducing the likelihood of false identities and duplicate records. Each individual will be assigned a unique ID number, streamlining records and eliminating duplicates, even if they use multiple aliases," said a senior police officer. Earlier, duplication issues often arose when the same criminal's data was entered multiple times under different aliases or modified identities. "The system's linkage with the Facial Recognition System (FRS) will further enhance its capabilities. Using FRS and iris scans, even partially visible faces of suspects can now yield potential matches," another senior police officer said, adding, detailed information on a person's modus operandi will also be available, enabling police to anticipate and prevent crimes more effectively. When contacted, Special Commissioner of Police (Crime) Devesh Chandra Srivastava said, "The goal is to bring in more reliability, accuracy and speed so that we can correctly identify and track criminals using latest technology in day-to-day policing." Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The platform is now being used by police personnel and units across the city to maintain and update the records of the criminals in the city. With enhanced search and upload functions, police personnel can now use specific keywords to identify patterns and link them to individuals using biometric matches. Police said this will ensure precise identification of a suspect by cross-referencing traits with biometric data. "This consolidated system will undoubtedly prove to be a valuable tool for Delhi Police, enabling them to stay one step ahead of criminals and make the city a safer place for its residents. With this cutting-edge technology, police can now access a wealth of information on criminals in one platform, leading to better crime control and prevention," said a senior police officer. Additional biometric features like voice recognition and footprint analysis further aim to strengthen the system, ensuring that even if criminals attempt to change their identity, their core physical traits remain traceable. Each individual is assigned to a unique identification number, eliminating redundancy and enabling seamless tracking within the criminal database.

How Delhi cops nabbed two serial snatchers using facial recognition tech
Slipping into different clothes, zigzagging on motorcycles to escape being captured on CCTV, recceing an area to blend in with the crowd — Ravi aka Karan and Akash, accused of over 155 snatchings in the Capital, did everything to escape from the law. However, the duo was arrested on Saturday using the Facial Recognition System (FRS), the Delhi Police said. Recently, acting on intel, police said a team of officers from the Anti-Snatching Cell (Southwest Delhi) and the local police was formed, which analysed footage from nearly 500 CCTVs, and deployed the FRS to identify the accused. 'Based on intel and manual surveillance, the duo was identified… Riding on motorbikes, the duo had adopted various tactics — wearing helmets during snatching, slipping into different clothes after each crime to avoid identification, and zigzagging on motorcycles so they don't get caught on camera, among others — to avoid being arrested,' DCP (Southwest) Surender Chaudhary said. After analysing their pattern, they laid a trap and arrested Ravi from Uttam Nagar and Akash from Sagarpur, and seized the motorcycle — an Apache bike — used in most of the cases, the DCP said. According to police, 32-year-old Ravi faces 90 FIRs, while 30-year-old Akash faces 65 cases. During questioning, the duo admitted to the crime, police said. They also disclosed their latest heist in Palam on May 8, where 'they had snatched two gold chains', police said, adding that further investigation is underway.

The team conducted an extensive technical investigation and analysed more than 500 CCTV cameras across the South-West, West, and North-West Districts. FRS (Facial Recognition System) was also used for identification. The accused persons were observed using a two-wheeler and employing various deceptive tactics to evade capture, such as taking multiple rounds in an area before committing the crime, changing clothes after each snatching to avoid identification, riding in a reckless zig-zag manner to blur CCTV footage, and using a helmet while committing a crime. Upon sustained interrogation, the accused persons admitted their involvement in a recent gold chain snatching case, dated May 8, PS Palam Village, Delhi, and two snatched gold chains were recovered from their possession. Further, three stolen mobile phones were also recovered. Both accused were arrested and produced before the court. During sustained interrogation, the accused persons confessed that to earn quick money, they used to commit gold chain and mobile phone snatching, and after committing the crime, they would sell the snatched gold chains and mobile phones to different individuals in Delhi.
