Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurates Bharatpol Portal

• Bharatpol portal provides a seamless connection to Interpol, the international police organization.

• The portal aims to bring criminals evading Indian laws within justice.

• The new criminal law allows prosecution of fugitive criminals through absentia trials.

• Bharatpol’s capabilities allow fugitives to be brought to justice “wherever they hide”.

• The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is urged to lead Bharatpol implementation and ensure grassroots training.

• Bharatpol’s five modules – Connect, Interpol notices, References, Broadcast, and Resources – support all Indian law enforcement agencies.
