By Dheeraj Fartode Imagine a police officer uploads an FIR and within seconds, an AI assistant begins planning the investigation. It write official letters, scan bank data and spot suspicious transactions. It sounds like science fiction - but it’s now reality in Maharashtra. The state police have started using Crime-OS, a powerful Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool developed under the MARVEL project (Maharashtra Research and Vigilance for Enhanced Law Enforcement). This tool, built in partnership with the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Nagpur, works like the co-pilot feature in Microsoft Office - but to solve crimes. It helps police save valuable time and reduces the heavy workload of investigations.

Gangster Santosh Ambekar arrested on the charges of fraud of Rs five crore and extortion on Saturday was produced in the court on Sunday, following which he was remanded to five-days police custody.
Ambekar was produced in the court in afternoon hours. As the police jeep developed snag near Akashwani square, he was taken to the court on foot. A video clip of police producing him in the court went viral in social media on Sunday.
The police told the court that they need Ambekar’s custody for arrest of remaining accused involved in the crime and recovery of the cash. After hearing plea of the police, the court remanded him to five-days police custody.
Investigation Officer (IO) of the case Police Inspector (PI) Santosh Khandekar informed that accused Bhaiyyaji Ramesh Patil, Rajput alias Salim, Balaji Angadia would be arrested soon. “We have sent special teams for arrest of the accused,” he said.
The complaint was lodged by Jigar Pareshbhai Patel, a resident of Kapadvanj, District - Kheda, Gujarat with Sitabuldi police on Saturday accusing Ambekar and his accomplices for duping him of Rs five crore and demanding extortion of Rs one crore.
Patel is deals in oil and his business spread in Gujarat state. He was searching for a commercial complex in Mumbai to start business in Maharashtra. Ramesh Patil had shown him a commercial complex at Mumbai on July 5, 2018 told him that Ambekar is owner of the property.
Patel along with Anil Kadam and Vinod Pawar met Ambekar at his home where they checked property documents in the name of Ambekar. The documents were forged by Ambekar. Patel fixed the deal with Ambekar for Rs 14 crore this week, said police. Ambekar demanded Rs five crore immediately but Patel was not ready. Then, Ambekar asked him to keep the money ready with Angadia (illegal courier). Patel agreed for the deal and given the money to Angadia in Mumbai. The Angadia was instructed by Patel to deliver the money to Ramesh Patil only after receiving his (Patel) phone call. In a recent meeting, Ambekar asked Patel for his mobile phone stating network issues in his phone. Without knowledge of Patel, Ambedkar dialed phone number of the Angadia from Patel’s phone and asked him to deliver the money to Patil. Assuming Patel instructed to deliver the money, the Angadia delivered the money to Patil.
Patel realised the fraud after two-days when the Angadia called him for commission. He then approached Ambekar and asked to return the money. Instead of returning money, Ambekar issued him death threats and demanded Rs one crore extortion. Patel then returned to a hotel in Ramdaspeth and approached Sitabuldi police. The police have registered the case under Section 420, 467, 468, 471, 384, 386, 506 (b) and 34 of Indian Penal Code.
