Agra Police Use AI to Arrest Loot Accused Absconding for 25 Years
Agra police arrested Samuel, a loot accused who had been absconding for nearly 25 years, using AI technology to update a 25-year-old photograph and search social media for matches. Wanted for a 2002 robbery in Agra's Lohamandi area, Samuel frequently changed identities and locations to evade arrest. Police tracked him to Delhi after discovering a traffic challan linked to his wife, leading to his arrest in Nangloi on June 1. He was subsequently remanded to judicial custody in Agra.
