Crime and Punishment
---------------------------
There cannot be any punishment , unless
crime gets proven
Recent example :
CBI could not “ prove through
irrefutable evidence “ that A Raja and Kanimozi had committed any crime
And to be able to prosecute suspected
criminals, you need evidence from every possible source
That is why the following announcement
by Shri Parrikar [ CM – Goa ] assumes significance :
Goa govt launches criminal tracking
system
Goa Chief
Minister Manohar
Parrikar today launched Crime
and Criminal Tracking and Networking System (CCTNS) in the state which will provide the
police an access to the national database of
history-sheeters.
The initiative, a part of Union Home Ministry's National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), was launched in presence of senior police officials on the occasion of Goa Liberation Day.
If the Government is serious about “
bringing to books “ , perpetrators of Corruption
( White Collar Crime ? ) , then Shri Rajnath Singhji might want to take a look at my

E - Governance ?
Can
e-Governance help eliminate corruption ?
Most
certainly
Look
at the following , partial list of Central and State Agencies set up to fight
fraud , money-laundering , corruption , tax-evasion , economic crimes etc :
>
Public Accounts Committee
( PAC )
>
Central Vigilance Commission (
CVC )
>
Central Information Commission ( CIC )
>
Research and Analysis
Wing (
RAW )
>
Serious Fraud Investigation Office ( SFIO )
>
Information
Bureau
( IB )
>
Economic Offence
Wing
( EOW )
>
Central Bureau of Investigation
( CBI )
>
Department of Revenue Intelligence ( DIR )
>
Comptroller and Auditor General (
CAG )
>
Anti Corruption Bureaus ( States ).... ( ACB )
>
Enforcement
Directorate
( ED )
>
Lok Ayukts ( States )
>
Lok Pal (
Central )
Despite such an army of Agencies , how do corrupt
manage to get away ?
Or
, in case caught , manage to delay delivery of punishment for years ?
No
doubt , there must be several reasons , including , inter - agency rivalry to
get credit - something difficult to eliminate altogether
But
, I believe , the most important reason is :
Lack of a COMMON / COMPUTERIZED database of all
offences / cases / persons being investigated
And , which is readily " Accessible " to all
of these Agencies , all over the country ( 24 * 365 )
Already
, every Agency compiles huge dossiers on " Suspects " in its
own
"
Departmental Database " , which is
never shared with other Agencies ,
leading
to ,
>
Huge amount of duplication of efforts / information
>
Fractured / scattered profiles of " Suspects "
>
Enormous waste of time / resources
What will help ?
>
Dismantling of individual departmental databases
>
Merging of all Agency-wise databases into a SINGLE
/ UNIQUE database
>
All Agencies to enter their findings /
data / info into this COMMON
database , with nothing preserved on
local computers
>
All data-entry FORMS to be ONLINE . No paper
forms at all
>
All local computers connected to ultra-secure
Network ( Encrypted )
>
" Access Rights " to individuals , based on Biometric Identification
