The Union Home Minister of India launched the 'BHARATPOL' portal to enhance the efficiency of Indian investigation agencies in tracking fugitives and facilitating faster international assistance.
- BHARATPOL Portal: Developed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the portal allows central and state agencies to connect with the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) for real-time information sharing, replacing the previous system where only the CBI had this access.
- BHARATPOL streamlines international assistance to tackle rising transnational crimes like cybercrime, drug trafficking, and human trafficking.
- The portal will enhance the processing of Red Notices and other INTERPOL notices, making it easier for field-level police officers to address crimes.
- Capacity Building: The CBI is tasked with training states on using BHARATPOL and implementing the three new criminal laws for effective trials.
