The National Crime Records Bureau released a request for proposal for a centralised Automated Facial Recognition System. This system would enable the creation of “a national level searchable platform of facial images”. The deadline for submission has so far been changed 5 times and is currently 31 January, 2020. The database would be creating using Passport, CCTNS [Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems], ICJS [Interoperable Criminal Justice System] and Prisons, Ministry of women and child development (KhoyaPaya), and State or National Automated Fingerprint Identification System or any other image database available with police/other entity.
