With an aim to make their cases watertight and enhance conviction rate, the Navi Mumbai police on Tuesday adopted new-age technology in the form i-bikes and Yatharth. According to officers, both the initiatives, first-of-its-kind in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), will revolutionise policing at 20 police stations by helping reduce flaws in investigations with spot-on evidence collection.

The initiatives are the brainchild of Commissioner of Police Milind Bharambe, who said, “The idea behind these initiatives is to make policing foolproof. There’s always a possibility of minor flaws in an investigation and those flaws are exploited by criminals to get acquittal. Both the initiatives will enable cops to be one-step ahead of the criminals.”
