The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) launched four new digital applications to speed up investigation, prosecution, and forensic processes in the criminal justice system.
The four apps are Abhigyan, CrPI, e-Prosecution 2.0, and e-Forensics 2.0, launched by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
The NCRB, established in 1986 in New Delhi, is the central repository for crime and criminal data in India.
Abhigyan App enables real-time fingerprint-based identification of individuals using the National Automated Fingerprint Identification System (NAFIS) database.
The CrPI system uses facial recognition, iris scanning, and DNA matching for identifying suspects and repeat offenders.
e-Forensics 2.0 connects forensic laboratories nationwide and manages digital case tracking and reports.
e-Prosecution 2.0 integrates police, prosecution, and judicial systems for faster legal processing and coordination.
