Navi Mumbai Police Commissioner Milind Bharambe has announced transformative measures aimed at enhancing the quality of criminal investigations. Under the new directives, each investigation officer will handle only one major case per month to ensure thorough probes. Bharambe emphasized that his team is well-prepared for the effective implementation of new criminal laws.

To adapt to the anticipated rise in cases due to the introduction of e-complaints, the number of investigation officers at each Navi Mumbai police station has been increased significantly. Specific training has been provided to maintain high investigative standards. 'In view of the new criminal laws, we have trained our personnel to improve the professionalism and quality of investigations,' Bharambe said.

Scientific evidence collection is a cornerstone of the revamped system. The Navi Mumbai Police, already a pioneer in this regard, will continue using advanced methods like the 'Yatharth' system, which includes the video recording of crime scenes and victim statements. New resources such as 'I-Bikes and I-Cars' equipped with forensic tools further support this initiative.
