The state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence systems, installed under the Bengaluru Safe City Project, have become silent, yet powerful tools for law enforcement agencies across multiple States.
With advanced CCTV camera networks, AI-enabled video analytics, and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) capabilities, the project has helped inter-State crime detection. Its core components include high-resolution surveillance cameras, a real-time monitoring option, ANPR-based vehicle tracking, emergency response systems, and data analytics platforms.
Maharashtra police crack murder mystery
In one of the most striking examples of its effectiveness, the Maharashtra police recently solved a murder case with the assistance of Bengaluru’s vast AI-powered CCTV camera network.
Investigators had only three vehicle numbers as clues when the breakthrough came from Bengaluru’s historical ANPR data, which showed the vehicles passing through eight monitored locations. Real-time alerts were then activated at major junctions, enabling coordinated tracking. Through sustained live monitoring, police teams from Maharashtra and Bengaluru apprehended four suspects along with the vehicles.
