UP DGP mandates 60-day deadline for sexual offence investigations

In a circular issued to field units, the DGP ordered strict compliance with the Ministry of Home Affairs’ Investigation Tracking System for Sexual Offences (ITSSO), which monitors investigations in cases registered under specified provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act. The order states that filing charge sheets within 60 days directly affects the state’s compliance rate and national ranking on the ITSSO portal.
