On Tuesday, January 7, Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched Bharatpol portals for faster access to international police assistance. The portal has been developed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) which will help Indian law enforcement agencies to enable real-time information sharing with international police counterparts.
During the launch, Home Minister Shah said, “This portal has been developed after a detailed exercise. I believe this portal will become a transformative tool for probe agencies in dealing with crimes and security challenges.”
Shah added that several criminals fled to some other country and remained out of the reach of Indian law agencies and that is why a portal like Bharatpol was needed to track them down.
“This is a step to take international investigation to a new level where every probe agency, every state police force can easily connect with the Interpol and can speed up their probe,” Shah said.
