Murder accused from MP caught through ICJS database in city
Jaipur: A 47-year-old murder accused from Madhya Pradesh, who was on the run since 2020, was arrested late Thursday night in Jaipur. He was found threatening commuters near the railway station and Sindhi Camp area with a dagger.
DCP (West) Amit Kumar said the accused, identified as Inderaj Singh of Maholi village in Vidisha district, was nabbed during a night patrol by Sadar police station personnel under the Khalsa Kothi bridge. The police recovered a sharp dagger from him.
"Local passers-by and pavement dwellers told our team that he often brandished the knife to extort money, especially from travellers in the vicinity," said a police officer.
When questioned, Singh failed to explain why he was carrying the weapon and was taken into custody. The breakthrough came when police checked his details on the RajCop CCTNS portal, followed by a cross-check on the Inter-operable Criminal Justice System (ICJS).
The integrated system flagged him as a wanted fugitive in a murder case lodged at Nateran police station in Madhya Pradesh.
According to ICJS records, Singh is accused of killing a woman named Rati Bai in 2020 and is booked under IPC Section 302. Officials said that without the swift identification through ICJS—a national digital platform linking police, prisons, prosecution, courts, and forensics—the fugitive may have continued evading arrest. The Inter-operable Criminal Justice System (ICJS) is a national platform integrating databases of police, prisons, forensics, prosecution, and courts.
It enables seamless data exchange across agencies, improving investigation efficiency, tracking of criminals, and judicial transparency. ICJS enhances inter-agency coordination. tnn
