Says, Shri Amitbhai
Shah ( Home Minister )
Here is what got
reported :
Rely
on technology, data and digital forensics for investigation; not third-degree
( ET / 23
April 2022 )
Extract :
Ø Stating that law
enforcement agencies need to rely on technology, data, information and digital forensics for investigation and not “ redundant “ third
degree methods
Ø Home Minister Amit
Shah on Thursday shared that the National Investigation Agency ( NIA ) has been
asked with preparing databases on seven
counts :
# Narcotics
# Hawala Transactions
# Arms Trafficking
# Counterfeit Currencies
# Bomb Blasts
# Terror Funding
# Terrorism
Ø “ Preparation of a National Database, and allowing investigation agencies
probing cases relating to the above seven fields, access to this database, while
also adding state-level databases, will help both the national investigation
agencies as well as the state police.
NIA has made a good start and the government expects that the national
database
on all counts will

MY TAKE :
Ø E -
Governance ? ......................................
[ 03 April 2014
]
Extract :
Can e-Governance help eliminate
corruption ?
Most certainly
Look at the following , partial list of Central and State Agencies set up to fight
fraud , money-laundering , corruption , tax-evasion , economic crimes etc :
> Public Accounts
Committee (
PAC )
> Central Vigilance
Commission ( CVC )
> Central Information
Commission ( CIC )
> Research and Analysis
Wing (
RAW )
> Serious Fraud
Investigation Office ( SFIO )
> Information
Bureau
( IB )
> Economic Offence Wing
( EOW )
> Central Bureau of Investigation ( CBI )
> Department of Revenue
Intelligence ( DIR )
> Comptroller and Auditor
General ( CAG )
> Anti Corruption Bureaus (
States ).... ( ACB )
> Enforcement
Directorate
( ED )
> Lok
Ayukts ( States )
> Lok
Pal ( Central
)
Despite such an army of Agencies ,
how do corrupt manage to get away ?
Or , in case caught , manage to delay delivery of punishment for years ?
No doubt , there must be several reasons , including , inter - agency rivalry to get credit - something difficult to eliminate altogether
But , I believe , the most important reason is :
Lack of a COMMON
/ COMPUTERIZED database of all offences / cases / persons being
investigated
And , which is readily " Accessible " to
all of these Agencies , all over the country (
24 * 365 )
Already , every Agency compiles huge dossiers on " Suspects " in its own "
Departmental Database " , which is never shared with other Agencies , leading
to ,
> Huge amount of duplication of efforts / information
> Fractured / scattered profiles of " Suspects "
> Enormous waste of time / resources
What will help ?
> Dismantling
of individual departmental databases
> Merging of all Agency-wise
databases into a SINGLE / UNIQUE
database
> All Agencies to enter their findings / data / info into this COMMON database ,
with nothing preserved on
> All data-entry FORMS to be ONLINE . No paper forms at all
> All local computers
connected to ultra-secure Network ( Encrypted )
> " Access Rights " to individuals , based on Biometric
Identification
Will BJP want to make this , a
prominent promise in their Poll-Manifesto , likely to be released on 7th
April ? ( Congress / AAP missed this boat ! )
It is high time political parties
stop talking of motherhood in vague terms and start telling the voters ,
" If you vote us to power , this
is precisely what we will do , to bring about E-GOVERNANCE - and do it
within 6 months of assuming power "
