A thief who escaped to Uttar Pradesh after a theft was apprehended within four seconds after police accessed his criminal record using a newly deployed tool available at all stations.
A theft incident led the perpetrator to flee to Uttar Pradesh, hoping to evade detection. Within moments of his arrival, local police initiated a search based on the report of the stolen property.
Police officers employed a recently introduced digital tool that links every police station to a centralized criminal‑record database. The system allows instant retrieval of an individual's prior offences, eliminating the need for manual paperwork.
Using the tool, officers identified the suspect’s record within seconds and confirmed his identity on the spot. The rapid verification enabled the team to detain the thief in just four seconds after the initial encounter.
Authorities highlighted that the new capability is expected to streamline investigations across the country, reducing response times and improving overall law‑enforcement efficiency.
