Mangaluru police tops in e-filing initiative

Mangaluru: The Mangaluru city police commissionerate has achieved the top slot among the entire police department in Karnataka in terms of the e-filing system.
The state police department had introduced the e- filing system in July last year.
Soon after, the central criminal investigation department and other offices had begun to follow the system.
The city commissionerate implemented the system from October last year and within a few months, it has surpassed other police offices and annexed the top slot, city police Commissioner P S Harsha said.
He said that the entire process from registration to dispatch is completed in six to seven hours, and the files are being disposed of the same day, making it very convenient for the general public.
At the beginning of June, the police commissionerate has e-filed 42,803 files and e-receipts have been prepared for 46,162 files.
No other offices of police commissionerate, the office of the inspector general of police or superintendent of police have achieved this feat.
The Bengaluru criminal investigation department, which began the e-filing system very fast, is in the second spot now with e-filing of 20,550 files and 16,656 e-receipts.
Among the offices of the superintendents of police (SP), Mandya district is ahead of others where 14,311 files have been e-fled and e-receipts have been prepared for 6,364 files.
Dakshina Kannada SP office with 10,713 e-filing and 6,215 e-receipts, is in the second spot.
"In the police Commissionerate here, except the city special branch division, all other divisions have been covered under the e-filing system. The office is mostly paperless. The city special branch has not been fully brought under governance to maintain confidentiality. To ensure swift response by using information technology to the fullest, police staff were sent to various places for training. In the next phase, the commissionerate plans to bring the offices of the assistant commissioners of police under e- filing" Harsha said.

Shirtless protest at AI Summit: Police adds charges of rioting against arrested IYC members

New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Police has added charges of rioting against the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) members arrested in connection with the shirtless protest during the AI Summit here last week, an official said on Tuesday.
Eight IYC members, including its president Uday Bhanu Chib, have been arrested so far. Police have added sections 191(1) (rioting) and 192 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot- if rioting be committed; if not committed) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) in the case.
Addressing a press conference, Special Commissioner of Police (Crime and Police Management & Media Cell) Devesh Chandra Srivastva described the accused as 'aggressive elements' and said that a premeditated attempt was made to breach the security cordon in the presence of dignitaries, delegates and visitors attending the international event.
"On February 20, 2026, while the India AI Impact Summit was underway at Bharat Mandapam, a premeditated attempt was made to breach the security cordon in the presence of dignitaries, delegates and visitors attending the international event. The aggressive elements were immediately overpowered. During the process of restraining them, some police personnel deployed on duty sustained injuries," he said.
He added that during the course of investigation, many individuals were seen in CCTV footage from the event venue and surrounding areas.
"The involvement of several other persons has also been detected, who were allegedly assisting the aggressive elements in various ways in carrying out the act," the Special CP said.
He said to unearth the entire conspiracy, continuous coordination is being maintained with police authorities of other states and raids are being carried out.
"During investigation, Sections 191(1) and 192 of the BNS have also been added. Based on the investigation so far, it has emerged that the offence was committed as part of a deep-rooted conspiracy, and substantial evidence in this regard has been obtained," he said.
Considering the multi-state ramifications of the case, the underlying financial and logistical networks among the accused, and the need for a comprehensive probe, further investigation has been transferred to the Inter-State Cell of the Crime Branch, Srivastva added.
According to police, additional sections under the BNS, including 196 (promoting enmity between different groups and acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony) and 197 (assertions prejudicial to national integration), have been invoked in the FIR. Both carry a jail term of up to three years.
Charges of criminal conspiracy, obstruction of a public servant in discharge of duty, disobedience to an order duly promulgated by a public servant, unlawful assembly and common intention had already been added to the case.
On Friday, the group of IYC workers staged a dramatic protest inside Hall No. 5 of the summit venue by removing their shirts to reveal T-shirts printed with slogans against the government and the India-US interim trade deal, before being whisked away by security personnel.
Police said the accused had registered online and obtained QR codes to gain entry into the venue.
The incident triggered a political slugfest, with the BJP calling it a "shameful act to tarnish India's image on the global stage", and the IYC defending it as a "peaceful" demonstration aimed at safeguarding national interests.
