Haryana Police sets up 100 technology workstations; 23,154 fingerprint matches recorded in 10 months

Panchkula, Nov 13 (UNI) Haryana Police has established 100 modern technology workstations across the state to strengthen crime detection and identification of offenders, with its fingerprint database recording 23,154 matches and helping identify 25 unidentified bodies in the first 10 months of 2026.
Between January 1 and October 31, the Haryana Police uploaded 72,172 fingerprints to the National Automated Fingerprint Identification System (NAFIS), of which 23,154 were successfully matched, officials said.
Additionally, 3,415 chance prints recovered from crime scenes were examined and verified, resulting in 94 successful matches that provided investigators with leads in criminal cases.
The state has set up 69 NAFIS and 31 Measurement Collection Unit (MCU) workstations across districts, subdivisions and specialised police units.
The MCU system has so far created digital identification records of 48,281 accused persons, incorporating their biographical details, physical identification particulars, photographs and video records.
These technology platforms are helping investigating officers verify suspects, examine their criminal antecedents and establish possible links between offences committed at different locations, including inter-state crimes.
Director General of Police Ajay Singhal said scientific evidence and modern technology were essential to tackling emerging crime challenges.
He directed officers to ensure maximum utilisation of the systems, regular updating of biometric records and greater integration of scientific tools into routine investigations.
Haryana Police aims to further strengthen the use of digital identification platforms to improve investigation and crime detection, officials said.
