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).

AFTER massive spread of coronavirus among the attendees of Markaz Tablighi Jamaat in Nizamuddin at Delhi, Maharashtra Government launched a hunt to identify persons from the State who had gone to the annual gathering. Nagpur police have received a list of 60 attendees who had gone to the congregation, according to sources.

The Union Home Ministry has alerted all States to identify the attendees. A list of suspected attendees were also sent to Maharashtra Government. Office of Director General of Police (DGP) Maharashtra has forwarded list of attendees to police units with a list of dos and don’ts, claimed sources.
Nagpur Police have received names of 60 persons from city who had gone to the congregation. However, the authorities are suspecting that the actual number could be bigger than that received in the list. “A big number of persons had gone by railways and they are not traceable,” claimed sources. The attendees took part in several religious events.
Joint teams of police and health department will start operations in the city on Wednesday. After finding symptoms of Covid-19, contact mapping of these attendees would be done and they would be taken for the test, said an official and added that the area would be cordoned off during the operation.
It may be mentioned here that the headquarters of a religious sect in Delhi’s Nizamuddin area has emerged as one of the biggest Covid-19 hotspots in India with 24 people testing positive and nearly 200 others showing symptoms when officials began evacuating the six-storey building of some 1,400 people who are believed to have been exposed to the virus.
The building belongs to the Tablighi Jamaat that hosted this month its annual congregation with attendees coming from several foreign nations such as Indonesia and Malaysia before they spread out to other parts of the country such as Kashmir and Andhra Pradesh, creating a web of close contacts that now threatens to create an explosion of cases in the country.
Eight of these people, including seven who went to Hyderabad and one who went to Srinagar, have succumbed to the disease. The Hyderabad deaths took place on Monday.
