Gujarat Police Rescue Child After 15-Hour Kidnapping Chase Using CCTV Footage
In Gujarat, police rescued a five-year-old child kidnapped by 25-year-old Lalit Roopsingh Jamre after a 15-hour, 100-km chase across Amreli and Rajkot districts. The investigation relied on footage from around 170 CCTV cameras, despite challenges like blind spots and limited access to private cameras. The case highlighted the need for better CCTV integration, prompting the Gujarat government to initiate a project to unify over 180,000 cameras statewide for improved tracking and law enforcement efficiency.
