Hyderabad Police launch AI platform to map accused persons and criminal networks

Hyderabad's police force has introduced an artificial intelligence-based platform called Dooradrishti to streamline investigations into accused persons and uncover criminal networks, according to officials. The new system, unveiled at the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) by Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar, aims to expedite the gathering of information from various records and databases, a process that previously consumed days of manual labor.

Dooradrishti consolidates data into a single platform, enabling investigators to see a comprehensive picture of an accused person and their connections to other individuals and criminal networks. The police anticipate that this technology will cut down the time spent on data collection and cross-checking, allowing officers to concentrate on field investigations, evidence gathering, and the timely filing of charge sheets.

Speaking at the launch, Sajjanar emphasized that Dooradrishti leverages years of police data to expedite investigations and facilitate quicker justice for victims. The platform is part of broader initiatives to enhance intelligence-led and preventive policing through artificial intelligence, digital technologies, and the integration of data from different departments.

By identifying potential threats, disrupting organized criminal networks, and preventing offenses, Dooradrishti seeks to bolster overall law enforcement efforts.
