The Ministry of Home Affairs has taken a significant step forward in bolstering India’s capabilities against terrorism and organized crime. In New Delhi, they inaugurated a digital Criminal Case Management System (CCMS) developed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). This system aims to streamline and enhance the management of criminal cases. Alongside the CCMS, the Ministry also launched a mobile app named ‘Sankalan’. This app, curated by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), serves as a comprehensive compendium of New Criminal Laws.
