Chandigarh, Sep 14 (PTI) Haryana Police is strengthening the implementation of the ‘RJSF’ pattern, an intelligence-based model, across the state to curb organised crime and keep a close watch on active criminals, officials said.
Under this model, active criminals are being identified across districts, their current status being verified, and their criminal records are being updated and validated, Haryana Police said on Monday.
From February 1, 2026, to August 25, 2026, a database of 45,207 active criminals has been prepared in the state, of whom 26,026 – 57.57 per cent – have been verified so far.
During the verification process, 7,425 criminals were found available at their registered addresses, while 1,612 were found to be in jail. In addition, 375 criminals were found to have died, Haryana Police said.
Verification of the remaining 19,137 criminals is underway on priority, so that updated information regarding every criminal is available with the police and timely action can be ensured as and when required, it said.
ADGP (Law and Order) Sanjay Kumar said the ‘RJSF’ model was initially introduced in the crime-sensitive districts of Rohtak, Jhajjar, Sonipat and Faridabad (RSJF) with the objective of systematic monitoring of criminals.
The model integrates criminal profiling, verification of their current status, identification of criminal networks and field-level surveillance.
Based on the experience gained from this initiative, a similar data-driven and intelligence-based crime monitoring system is now being implemented in the other districts as well, the ADGP said.
DGP Ajay Singhal said that regular verification of active criminals and keeping their records updated is an important component of the crime control strategy.
He directed the officers to regularly update information regarding the current status, activities and contacts of criminals and ensure effective action wherever required.
Stressing that having accurate information about every criminal is the first requirement for effective crime control, the DGP said in an official statement, “Our objective is not merely to maintain records of criminals, but to use the available data to prevent a crime before it occurs.” According to Haryana Police, under the RJSF pattern, the exercise is not limited to recording the number of criminals and their criminal history; their current activities and police records are also being regularly updated to help monitor their activities more effectively through technology.
The objective is to integrate the available information related to criminals and connect field policing, technological surveillance and intelligence inputs with one another, so that necessary action can be taken in time whenever any change in a criminal’s activities is detected, officials said.
The database also aims to strengthen the exchange of information among districts.
DGP Singhal said criminals are not confined to the boundaries of a single district; therefore, important information available with the police of one district can also be valuable for the police of another district. PTI SUN ARI
