Delhi Police deployed four Facial Recognition System (FRS) units at Jantar Mantar to identify wanted criminals, absconders, and habitual offenders.
The FRS units are placed at key entry and exit points around the NEET protest site and are linked directly to the Delhi Police database.
The system can identify individuals such as wanted criminals, absconders, history-sheeters, and Bad Characters (BCs) from police records.
High-resolution cameras capture facial images from a distance and match them with the database; if a match is found, police are alerted for immediate action.
The deployment is a preventive and investigative measure to prevent anti-social elements from exploiting the protest to create law and order issues.
