The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has accumulated details of all terrorists which includes Indian Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Taiba as well as Khalistani militant groups and uploaded them in one common server at its headquarters in Delhi.
The National Terrorism Data Fusion & Analysis Centre (NTDFAC) is designed along the lines of the Global Terrorism Database of the US. It is reported that details of the terrorists and their associates, including their case history, fingerprints, videos, pictures and social media profiles and information on the terror groups they belong to have been compiled.
According to a source at NTDFAC, the NIA has the National Automated Fingerprint Identification System with over 92 lakh fingerprint records, Integrated Monitoring of Terrorism with data of more than 22,000 terrorist cases along with their case studies, National Integrated Database on Arrested Narco-Offenders with data of more than 5 lakh narco offenders, their source of funding, their involvement along with their cases registered in India, their latest pictures and social media profiles.
The NTDFAC will also have a face recognition system, which will help them scan pictures of suspects from any CCTV footage.
“The NTDFAC will not only help the NIA officers but also help state police forces to identify details of their suspect from this server. Currently, they have uploaded videos and photographs of the terrorists and their associates, but in future there are plans to also put voice samples to help identify the terrorists,” another source said.
As of now, the Ministry of Home Affairs has put a ban on 39 terrorist organizations and declared 56 people as designated terrorists under the UAPA.
