New Delhi, June 20 -- Union home minister Amit Shah on Friday asked the police forces to ensure the active use of technology across the entire chain of investigation, prosecution and conviction. Speaking at the inauguration of the All India Fingerprint Conference 2026 organised by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) in Delhi, the home minister stressed that not only should the National Automated Fingerprint Identification System (NAFIS) be used for identifying criminals, but the database must be enriched by adding fingerprints collected from crime scenes.

It can succeed only when you enrich the NAFIS data through fingerprints obtained from every crime scene," Shah said.

So what's the use of technology then?"P6...
