BEST PRACTICES OF A. P. POLICE IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
I. AP Police was identified by Ministry of Home Affairs as one of the Advanced Sate in
Information Technology. AP Police initiated the computerization process in the year
1992. Initially Police Computer Services is a part of CID and it was made as a
separate unit in the year 1999.
II. To cater the local policing needs AP Police started e-cops project. During
development and implementation the department has faced many problems due to
various reasons. To overcome those problems the AP Police has designed and
implemented several initiatives which can be called as Best Practices.
a. Training: - A training lab with 20 systems was provided to each district / unit for
imparting training to the district staff. Good performers in the end user training
and interested / semi technically qualified personnel i.e., Diploma Holders, ITI
qualified were selected and provided training in System Administration,
Database Administration, Hardware and Network Maintenance and
Troubleshooting etc. Again in these trainings, the best performers were selected
and made them as Trainers who in turn trained almost all personnel of their
respective units.
b. Computer Based Training (CBTs) :- CBTs was developed for each application
and the CBTs were supplied to each unit / sub unit so that the end user can
learn the usage of the application leisurely without any pressure. The CBTs also
came very handy to those who were interested to learn but were not spared to
attend the training due to shortage of the staff. All Police personal can access
the CBT through intranet portal.
c. IT Core Teams: - After providing the required training to the district personnel,
AP Police has selected top performers and formed a team called IT Core Team
under the control of unit officer. The responsibility of Installing, Training,
Implementing and Maintaining the IT Initiatives was bestowed to these teams.
The good services of these team members were recognized by the unit officers
and were awarded with suitable rewards from time to time. Apart from these
teams AP Police has also formed District Implementation Teams headed by
Addl. SP and State Mission Teams headed by IGP PCS & S.
d. Network connectivity: - AP Police provided network connectivity all the places.

i.e, Police Stations, Circle Offices/ACP Offices, Sub Division Offices/DCP
Offices, DPO/Commission rates, Chief Office and all special units. All the units
are connected to State of Art Data Center of AP State Police at Chief Office.
e. Hardware: - AP Police provided Computers, Printers with UPS to all the places.
i.e., Police Stations, Circle Offices/ACP Offices, Sub Division Offices/DCP
Offices, DPO/Commission rates, Chief Office and all special units.
f. Applications: - AP Police has developed lot of application to strengthen the

field officers. All the applications are clustered in to the Intranet Portal and
made available to all the Police Stations. The following applications are widely
used :-
1. AP Police emailing System: - It is a name based mailing system. Can be
accessed by Intranet and Internet. Widely used to get call details reports
from Service Providers and Internal Communication.
2. Enterprise 3rd Eye: - It is a best Investigation Supporting Tool. The tool

established the Identity proof of the person. It contains the database of
Mobile Phones, Driving Licenses, Vehicle Information, Ration Cards, Voter
ID Cards and Education Certificates.
3. State Crime Records Bureau Returns:- All the required returns for
SCRB (53 returns) are entered at Police Station Level and compiled at
each level i.e., Circle, Sub division, DPO and SCRB. Which saves lot of
manpower, time and paper.
4. Investigation Supporting Center: - The application is ready reference

tool to the Investigating Officers. All the Standard Operating Procedures
are compiled crime head wise and systematically arranged. It also
provided the Check lists and Action Plan to the Investigating Officers. All
the relevant templates are made available in this application.

1.3 The District wise percentage of the IPC crime with respect to the bodily, property
and white-collar offences is given in the tables that follow.
1.4 General Trend:
Guntur Urban, Vijayawada city, Tirupathi (U) and Vishakhapatnam City

continued to have highest crime rates in the state.
Pendency of investigation was highest in Vijayawada City followed by East

Godavari and Vishakhapatnam City.
Vijayawada City had the highest pendency of pending trial cases, followed
by Nellore, Krishna and Vishakhapatnam City. These units need to take up
follow up action with the judiciary on the PT pendency.
1.5 Future:
In the next few years, it is expected that the conventional crime would drop further
and Economic Offences, Cyber Crimes, Terrorist Crimes, Organised Crime and
L&O problems resulting from urbanization will substantially increase. Cyber Crimes
have been on the increase, as the computerization in India especially in Banking,
Financial Institutions and Service Sector is in a takeoff stage. With low conviction
rate, delayed trial of Criminal cases, lack of alternate dispute resolution system, the
number of Pending Trial (PT) cases would increase enormously.

PROPERTY CRIME
Police have the bounden duty to restore property to owners, but quite often this is not
done, resulting in low public satisfaction.
Let us encourage owners to file requisitions for claiming their property.
Gold recovery from goldsmiths in G.O. Ms. No. 272/ Home(PSC) Dept.dtd: 23.05.2014.
Use Sec. 75 IPC wherever applicable. Very few officers are using Sec. 75 IPC in AP
giving scope to repeat offenders resulting in recidivism.
Do open KD/DC/ Suspect Sheets as per APPM PSO No. 596 to 600.
Do handover 2/3/4 wheelers on recovery to owners through court.
Sureties to declare u/s 441-A Cr.P.C.
Do raise objections at the time of executing sureties.
Do attach properties of offenders U/Sec. 105 Cr.P.C.
Arrest receivers of stolen property
Cross check address furnished by offenders to preclude him/ her from going out of view

ECONOMIC OFFENCES
4.1 Much of the volume of crime under Economic Offences is often lost in the rubric of
other IPC or Special and Local Laws while studying crime statistics. There is
thus a lack of clarity as to the nature of economic offences; and in addition to IPC
and the plethora of special and local laws enacted to control them, there is also a
large number of agencies tasked with enforcement of these laws. Police officers
should therefore not only familiarize themselves with the governing enactments,
they should also liaise with the different agencies for a concerted effort against the
gamut of economic crime, which is connected with each other in myriad ways.
4.2 Economic Offences could be broadly classified as those white collar offences that
have a bearing on the economic well being of the society. With the expansion of the
economy, the offenders also find new ways of looting public wealth. It is said that
law follows crime. In case of Economic offences, certainly, it is true. Legislature has
passed a number of enactments dealing with economic crime but it is seen that
usually police has limited exposure to the same.
4.3 For instance, till 1987 in A.P., the only remedy for the victim of an unscrupulous
builder would have been under the civil law for breach of contract. This was despite
a very large number of prospective apartment buyers getting defrauded by crooked
builders. However, after the passage of the Andhra Pradesh Apartments (Promotion
of Construction and Ownership) Act, 1987 the victims have a remedy in criminal law
also and police needs to be responsive to it.
4.4 While 109.49crores property was lost in traditional property offences, 446.20crores
worth of property was lost by the public in white collar offences in 2014, which was
4.08 times of the traditional crime. 5537 Economic Offences were reported in 2014
as compared to 5007 cases reported in 2013 and 4373 cases in 2012. There is an
increase of 10.6% in 2014 over previous year. Among them, cheating constitutes
84.18% and Criminal Breach of Trust constitutes about 13.76%. There is an
increase in Cheatings by (10.6%) and in Cr.Br.of Trust by (8.7%) in 2014 when
compared to 2013. The comparative figures for the years 2012 to 2014 are
presented in Table 4.3.
4.5 Analysis revealed that these territorial clusters in Andhra Pradesh accounted for
most of the white collar crimes reported and deserve more attention. They are:
Vijayawada City, Kurnool, Guntur Urban, VSP City and West Godavari.
4.6 In the state of A.P. property acquired by the accused person out of proceeds of
crime can be attached under the following four laws and the Investigating Officers
must make full use of the relevant and applicable provision of the law to attach and
confiscate the properties of the white collar offenders:-
o Section 105 Cr.P.C.
o Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance 1944.
o The AP Protection of Depositors of Financial Establishment Act, 1999.
o Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002.

APPM PSOs 532 to 537 enumerate investigation procedure.
5.3 Snapshots
13549 cases were registered during 2014 under Crime against Women, as
against 14714 in the year 2013 showing a decrease of 7.9% over previous year.
West Godavari with 1257 cases ranked first in registering highest number of
cases of Crime against Women during the year 2014 followed by East Godavari
(1129), Krishna (1093), Ananthapuram (1090), Kurnool (1039) and Vijayawada
City (1025).
Anathapuram & West Godavari districts ranked first in registering the incidence
of crime under Dowry murder (11 each) followed by Kurnool (10) and East
Godavari, Krishna & Vizianagaram (6 each) during the year 2014.
Ananthapuram accounted for the highest number of cases under the head of
Dowry deaths (25) followed by West Godavari (22), Kadapa & Chittoor (16
each) and Guntur rural (15) during the year 2014.
The highest number of cases under Abetment to Suicide was registered from
Anantapuram (61) followed by Prakasham & Guntur rural (38 each) and West
Godavari (37).
Vijayawada City ranked first in the incidence of crime under Dowry Harassment
(628) followed by West Godavari (613), Krishna (587) and East Godavari (450).
Anantapuram registered highest number of (50) cases under Murder of Women

followed by West Godavari (38) and Kurnool (36).
5.4 Women Police Stations
The power to register case FIRs is given to all the Women Police Stations. Earlier
they were toothless acting mostly as Counseling Centers. The Women Police
Stations were empowered with full investigative power so that women victims who
approach the Women Police Stations would receive justice. In AP, there are
Women Police Stations at all District headquarters. Measures are underfoot to
ensure that all Police Stations have women police personnel so that aggrieved
women can approach police stations without any hesitation.
5.5 Helpline
1091 Help Line is working well in some areas, however there are some problems
regarding connectivity; Steps are being taken to provide an effective universal Toll-
free number accessible across all networks so that the Help Line service is
improved.
5.6 Special Courts and Support Centers
Steps are being taken to set up specialized Courts for trying cases of Anti Human
Trafficking cases as well as Cruelty and Harassment cases under Section 498(A)
IPC. Efforts are also on to associate Support Centers wherein trained counselors
attend to the victims of cruelty and trafficking, so that their interests are best served.
5.7 Victim Compensation
Govt. of A.P. issued G.O.Ms No.28 Dept. of Women & Child Welfare, which
stipulates payment of compensation to victims of rape (Rs.50,000/-) gang rape of
minors (Rs.1 lakh), acid attacks (Rs. 1 lakh), selling and buying of minors for
prostitution (Rs.20,000/-) interim relief for women and children rescued from
trafficking (Rs.20,000/-), dowry death (Rs.50,000)/- to the next of kin), causing
grievous injuries (Rs.50,000/-). A comprehensive Victim Compensation Scheme as
envisaged under section 357-A Cr.P.C is also on the anvil. These funds are
sanctioned by the district collector on the recommendation/ report of the district S.P.
5.8 Cases of Sexual Assault
Penalty under Section 354 IPC (Molestation/ Assault with intent to outrage the
modesty of a woman) is made more severe, by a State amendment in 1991,
punishable with five to seven years of imprisonment, and under special
circumstances from two to five years imprisonment; the offence is made non-
bailable and non-compoundable. This comes down heavily on the eve-teasers and
offenders indulging in acts outraging the modesty of women.
Govt. of AP has proposed an amendment for amending Sec.326 IPC (causing

grievous hurt by dangerous weapon or means) by introducing a new Sec.326A IPC
making it punishable for a term not less than 10 years imprisonment and for
payment of Rs.5 Lakhs compensation from the accused by duly amending
Sec.357A Cr.P.C. The State Government will bear the medical expenses of
treatment to acid attack victims under the Arogya Shree scheme.
Govt. of AP also sent an amendment to Sec.509 IPC (intention to insult the modesty
of a woman) to Govt. of India for making the offence non-bailable and to be
punishable upto 3 years imprisonment. It is pending with GOI.
5.9 Marital Offences
In AP, section 498-A IPC is non-bailable and compoundable, by a State

Amendment. This step is a widely perceived as a welcome step and one that gives
the victim woman a better bargaining power while settling the issues of marital
discord and harassment.
There is an increase in the cases involving NRI husbands/ accused, and the
mechanisms of Lookout Circular (LOC), 105 B Cr.P.C proceedings, impounding of
passport etc. are used to bring the accused to book. However, Red Corner Notice
(RCN) is not being issued by Interpol in 498A cases, citing implications of civil law.
Section 494 IPC (bigamy) and 496 were made cognizable, non-bailable and non-
compoundable by a State Amendment in A.P in 1992.
By an amendment to the Succession Act, AP has introduced a provision in 1985

giving coparcenary rights over the property to the girl-child. Govt. of India later
amended Succession Act on similar lines.

CHAPTER6
ANTI HUMAN TRAFFICKING
6.1. Definition of Trafficking: (Ref. Art. 23 of the Indian constitution)
The definition of Trafficking can be found in the various sections of ITPA (Immoral
Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956. Section 5 speaks about procuring, taking and even
inducing a person for the sake of prostitution. According to this section, even
attempt to procure and attempt to take or causing a person to carry on prostitution
amounts to trafficking. Therefore Trafficking has been given a broad scope. (Ref:
UN Protocol to prevent, suppress & punish Trafficking in Persons, 2000).
A legal definition of trafficking is available in the Goa Childrens Act 2003. Though it
is focused on child trafficking, the definition is comprehensive. Under Sec.2(z) of
the said Act Child Trafficking means the procurement, recruitment,
transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, legally or illegally,
within or across borders, by means of threat or use of force or other forms of
coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a
position of vulnerability or of giving or receiving payments or benefits to
achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for
monetary gain or otherwise.
If a woman or child is sexually exploited and any person gains out of the same, it
amounts to Commercial Sexual Exploitation (CSE), which is a legally punishable
offence wherein the culpability lies against all exploiters.
6.2 Human Trafficking is the contemporary manifestation of slavery, whose victims are
predominantly women and children. No country today is immune from human
trafficking. Victims are forced to work as sex workers, bar dancers, beggars, camel
jockeys, in hazardous work on farms, as domestic servants, as child soldiers, and in
many forms of involuntary servitude. According to UN estimates nearly 2 million
women and children are abused and trafficked globally every year and millions more
are trafficked within their home countries.
There is growing concern over the serious implications vis-a-vis human rights,
public order, economic, public health, HIV / AIDS and security, of human trafficking
around the world. This Commerce in Human Life generates billions of rupees
each year, much of which is used to finance organized crime. It is the 3 rd largest
organized crime after drugs and arms. Human trafficking is increasingly being
perpetrated by organized, sophisticated criminal enterprise.
The process, means and end of human trafficking is given below:
PROCESS MEANS END

Recruiting By Force For Involuntary Servitude
or or or
Harboring Fraud Debt Bondage
or or or
Moving Coercion Slavery
or or
Obtaining Sex Trade
or
Maintaining a Person
Till 2005, we were prosecuting the Victims under ITP Act 1956. The next
dimension as per National Human Rights Commission (August 2004 Report) is that
commercially sexually exploited victim is a victim of circumstances beyond her
control and thus we must focus on prosecuting the traffickers.
We must adopt three Ps (Prevention, Protection & Prosecution) and three Rs

(Rescue, Rehabilitation and Reintegration).
Treat the victim with care and concern, rescue the victims following rescue
protocols and arrest the traffickers of all hues under non-bailable sections. Sections
of law applicable include Sec.366-A, 366-B, 372, 373, 376(2)(g) IPC along with ITP
Act provisions, when minors are subjected to commercial sexual exploitation.
Taking action against brothel keepers for closure of brothels u/s 18 of ITP Act and
Sec.133(6) Cr.P.C.
6.4 A.P is the First State in the country to start AHTUs (Anti Human Trafficking Units)
under a joint partnership programme of UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs &
Crime) and MHA (Ministry of Home Affairs) (D.O.Lr.15011/57/2004-05 SC/ST Cell
(ATC) dt.4.9.06 of Jt. Secretary, Govt. of India, Ministry of Home Affairs, New
Delhi). Three AHTUs were set up Guntur, Anantapuram and Eluru vide G.O.Ms
No.165 Home (PS& CA2) Dept. Dt. 25.06.2011. Four more AHTUs are being
established at Tirupathi, Nellore, Vijayawada and CID unit at Visakhapatnam Vide

RT.No.3548, Finance (Expr-Home and Law) Dept. Dt: 28-09-2013.
6.5 We must concentrate at source Villages / Towns / Cities, Transit areas like Bus
stands, Railway Stations as a part of prevention / protection drive in pursuance of
G.O.Ms. No. 1 of Govt. of AP, WD, CW & DW Department dt. 03.01.2003 conduct
rescue operations at highest of destinations. Involve the PRIs (Panchayat Raj
Institutions) in prevention and reintegration programmes. Open History sheets /
Suspect sheets (under PSO 596 and 600 of APPM) against traffickers, share
intelligence across the country to make a dent on their network.
Bonded labour: Exploitation is the benefit of one to cause unfair loss to another. In
case of exploitative labour, it may relate to:
Living and working conditions not upholding Fundamental rights.
Not giving fair way or minimum wage.
The person may not have offered her / his services voluntarily; forced or
compulsory labour is all work or service which is exacted from any person under
the menace of any penalty and for which this said person has not offered
himself voluntarily. (12.3 million forced labour in the world).
6.6 Notable G.Os are:-

G.O Rt No. 475/Home (Pol. D) Dept. dated: 16.08.1991 regarding appointment
of Special Police Officers.
G.O.Ms No.1 of Women Development, Child Welfare and Disabled Welfare

(Progs) Dept dt.3.1.2003 regarding Prevention, Rescue, Rehabilitation, Anti
Trafficking Measures, Economic Empowerment of Victims of CSE, Health care
etc.
G. O. Ms. No.13 of W D C W & D W (Progs) Dept. dt.21.4.2013 regarding

enhancement of immediate relief fund from Rs.5000/- to Rs.10,000/-to the
children / women who are rescued from trafficking.
G.O.Ms.No.28 of Women Development, Child Welfare and Disabled Welfare

(Progs) Dept dt.4.7.2003 regarding setting up of a Relief and Rehabilitation
Fund for victims of atrocities Payment of Rs.50,000/- to the victims of sexual
exploitation.
G.O.Ms. No. 16 of WD & CW Dept. dt: 24.04.2013 Adoption of Minimum
Standards of Care by Institutions & Service Providers Providing Protection and
Rehabilitative Facilities to victims of commercial sex trafficking.
6.7 Providing Victim / Witness Support is another important aspect to motivate victims
to give evidence in courts to ensure conviction of traffickers. Low conviction rate is
due to lack of Victim / Witness Support Fund.
6.8 Law:
Human trafficking is not comprehensively defined in any Indian law. However there
are many laws where reference made to different forms of trafficking is made. In
India, Human trafficking is basically dealt with by four laws: Indian Penal Code,
1861; The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956; Juvenile Justice (Care and
Protection of Children) Act, 2000 and Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, 1976.

CHAPTER7
CRIME AGAINST CHILDREN
7.1 Every year thousands of children become victims of crime whether through
kidnappings, violent attacks, or sexual abuse. Crimes against children tend to be
local crimes with the vast majority taking place within the home or family circle.
There are other crimes against children that are facilitated by the Internet. Not only
can offenders distribute and access child abuse material more easily, but they can
also come into direct contact with children via chat rooms and social networking
sites.
7.2 Sex tourism: this type of crime involves the abuse of children in developing third
world countries, including our own country, especially tourist places like Goa and
other popular places visited by foreigners. This type of crime is linked to child
trafficking, organized crime and murder.
7.3 To combat the Crimes Against Children, a three-pronged approach is required: (1)
to decrease the vulnerability of children to sexual exploitation; (2) to develop a
nationwide capacity to provide a rapid, effective, and measured investigative
response to crimes against children; (3) to enhance the capabilities of state and
local law enforcement agencies through programs, investigative assistance, and
task force operations.
7.4 The strategy should involve using multi-disciplinary and multi-agency teams to
investigate and prosecute crimes that cross legal, geographical, and jurisdictional
boundaries; promoting and enhancing interagency sharing of intelligence,
specialized skills, and services; and widely offering victim/witness services. All for
the express purpose of protecting our nations greatest asset our children.
7.5 Issues relating to child victims and crimes committed against children are a matter
of serious concern for the Government, parents and the society. The issue needs
attention it deserves and special steps to deal with this delicate area. Ankuram,
Divya Disha, HCHAW, Child line and a few other NGOs are assisting police.
7.6 Status of a Child:
There is a need for a clear definition of child in the statute. Juvenile Justice (Care
& Protection of Children) Act, 2000, defines a child as a person who has not
completed 18 years of age. The Child Marriage Restraint Act of 1929 also
specifies 18 years as the cut off age for preventing child marriage. Sec. 376 IPC
defines 16 years as the age for giving consent in rape cases. Child Labour Act
1986 fixes 14 years as the criteria for child labour. Hindu Marriage Act 1955 states
18 years and 21 years as the eligibility age for marriage for females and male
respectively.
7.7 Crime against Children:
Include violations under certain sections of Indian Penal Code and Special and
Local Laws. For the purpose of this chapter, the following categories of crimes
involving child victims have been included:
Foeticide (316 IPC) & infanticide ( 315 IPC)

CHAPTER8
JUVENILE DELINQUENCY
8.1 Juvenile delinquency is one of the most serious problems of our times. It basically
means anti-social behaviour among children. The different forms of delinquent
behaviour include loitering, loafing, pick-pocketing, stealing, gambling, sexual
offences like eve teasing, etc. The rate of delinquency is rising very fast all over the
world and one of the main suspected reasons is the negligence of parents
8.2 Juvenile or child means male below the age of 16 years and female
below the age of 18 yrs were considered as juveniles in Juvenile Justice
(CPC) Act 1986. The Act was amended in 2000 according to which, the age
of juvenile males and females was brought at par as below the age of 18
years. AP Juvenile Justice (CPC) Rules-2006.
8.3 Causes of Juvenile Delinquency
Almost all research workers have accepted that families of delinquents are
characterized by discords, desertions and divorces. Such families have been
pointed out as one of the main causes of delinquency.
To those in sore need of a substitute for family love and group-belongingness,

the peer group or the gang presents itself as a kind of close knit unit that will
serve the purpose.
The immediate environments of a child also affect the trend he will adopt in
connection with his personality. It has been seen that more delinquents come
from slums and thickly populated areas.
Although schools and educational institutes are playing an increasingly

important role in the training and upbringing of future citizens, they are also
contributing towards many cases on juvenile delinquency. Delinquents are
typically non-bookish and non-academic individuals who perceive studies as a
burden. When they fail in exams and get scolded by their family, they tend to
indulge in delinquent acts.
Poverty and democracy are also major contributing factors towards juvenile
delinquency. People indulge themselves in delinquent acts in order to meet and
satisfy the primary wants of their life. Democratic orders also increase
delinquency.
8.4 Effects
On the Families
The upheaval and trauma of having a family member who is a juvenile delinquent
can create instability for the other relatives. Not only does the family have to cope
with the needs of the child who is in trouble, but they may also have to raise large
amounts of money to pay for lawyers. In addition, the family has to face the ethical
issues of responsibility to the victims of the child's crime.
On the Community
There is a correlation between juvenile delinquency and drug use, gang

involvement, alcohol abuse, and sexual behavior. All of these issues challenge
communities by making neighborhoods unsafe.
On Society
Young people who commit serious crimes before they are 18 years old challenge
the future for everyone involved. They may be acting out to protest perceived
abuses that have been perpetrated against them. They may believe that there is no
future for them outside of a life of crime. They may be expressing anger or
frustration directed against another person or group or looking for approval from a
gang. Whatever the motive, juvenile delinquency affects too many individuals,
families, and communities. It is a serious problem that challenges the efforts of
government agencies, politicians, educators, faith communities, and nonprofit
organizations alike.
8.5 Suggestions for the prevention of juvenile delinquency:
Accept the delinquent as a person in his own right, and give affection and
security.
Watch for the signs of maladjustment; early treatment may prevent this
maladjustment from taking a delinquent trend.
Providing the child with a variety of experiences like music and dance, art and
craft, etc. can help divert him/her from delinquent tendencies.
Attempt to build-up a stable system of moral and social values.
Reject the delinquent behavior without rejecting the delinquent.
Encourage the child to talk about and admit the existence of anti-social
tendencies.
Change the conditions of home, school and community that seem to give rise to
such behavior.
Give a potential delinquent some post of special responsibility, such as task of
preventing other children from committing delinquent acts.
Once a delinquent act has been detected, never pass it over. Make clear to the
child that he has done something wrong, but do not punish him harshly.
Minimize the chances of a childs going wrong by putting the smallest possible
number of temptations in his way.
8.6 Snapshots

cases in the year 2014, showing a decrease of 19.9%.

CRIME AGAINST SC/ST
9.1 Snapshots
There is an increase in the offences against SC/ST in A.P. in 2014 (1986) when
compared to 2013 (1770).
The total cases under different Acts to prevent atrocities against SC/ST were
highest in Kurnool district (234) followed by Nellore (223), West Godavari (175),
and Anantapuram (162).
Prakasham district registered highest number of SC/ST Murders (6) followed by
Kadapa (5) and Kurnool, Anantapuram, & Guntur rural (4 each).

Nellore topped With 46 cases under SC/ ST (POA) Act followed by Kurnool (33),
Visakhapatnam City (25) and East Godavari (23).
9.2 The farmers of the constitution took note of the fact that certain communities in the
country were suffering from extreme social, educational and economic backwardness
arising out of age-old practices of untouchability and certain others on account of the
primitive agricultural practices, lack of infrastructure facilities and geographical
isolation, and who need special consideration for safe guarding their interests and for
their accelerated social-economic development. These communities were notified as
scheduled castes and Scheduled tribes as per the provisions contained in clause 1 of
Article 341 and 342 of the constitution respectively.
9.3 The 1931 Census, for the first time systematically categorized certain castes as
depressed classes. Thereafter, the Government of India Act, 1935, for the first time,
provided for notification of socially disadvantaged castes as Scheduled Castes, and
a list of such castes was accordingly notified in the Government of India (Scheduled
Castes) Order, 1936. The elections to provincial assemblies in British administered
areas held in 1937 under the above Act, provided seats reserved exclusively for
Scheduled Caste candidates.
9.4 The Constitution of India, which came into effect on 26.1.1950, inter-alia, abolished
untouchability and provided several special safeguards for the Scheduled Castes,
so as to ensure that they are able to attain equality with the other social groups in the
shortest possible time. These safeguards enabled reservation in elections to the Lok
Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies, and reservation in Government jobs.
Important provisions of the Constitution pertaining to the Scheduled Castes.
9.5 The Constitutional provisions for protection and development of the SCs Social
Safeguards:
Article 17, 23 24 and 25(2) (b) of the constitution enjoins the state to provide
social safeguards to Scheduled castes. Article 17 relates to abolition of
untouchability being practiced in society. The parliamentary enacted the
protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955 and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes (prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 to tackle the problem of untouchability,
which is being practiced against Scheduled Castes.
Article 23 prohibits traffic in human beings and begar and other similar forms of
forced labour and provides that any contravention of this provision shall be an
offence punishable in accordance with law. Although there is no specific mentions
about the SCs special significance for them. The Indian parliament enacted
Bounded Labour system (Abolition) Act, 1976 for identification, liberation and
rehabilitation of banded labourers.
Article 24 provides that no children below the age of 14 years shall be employed
to work in any factory or mine or engaged in any other hazardous employment.
Even in this article, there is no specific mention about the SCs but substantial
portion of child labour engaged in hazardous employment belong to SCs.
Article 25(2) (b) provides that Hindu religious institutions of a public character
shall be opened to all classes and sections of Hindus. The term Hindu includes
persons professing Sikh, Jain and Buddhist religion.
Article 38 provides that the state shall strive to promote the welfare of the people
by securing and protecting as effectively as it may a social order in which justice,
social, economic and political, shall prevail in all the institutions of national life.
Article 46 contains a very significant directive to the state. It says that the state
shall promote with special care the educational and economic interest of the
weaker sections of the people and in particular, of the Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribes, and shall protect them from social justice and all forms of
exploitation. It is clear from these constitutional mandates that our constitution
makers have given an emphasis on eradication of all forms of social evils and
historical injustice with declared intent of bringing these neglected and
discriminated sections steps for setting up of special courts. The National
Commission for SCs and STs recommends that all the states/UTs where the
cases relating to the offences under the PCR Act are still pending for trail must set
up special courts without further delay.

f. Lack of training on the Acts and Rules and Govt. G.Os, Circulars pertaining to

g. Lack of awareness for the General Public and also SCs.
h. Poor performance of P.Ps and APPs in the prosecuting the cases in the

against SC/STs.
j. Not following the guidelines and recommendations of Dr. Justice Punnaiah
Commission and also instructions issued by Govt. and also DGP prevention of
atrocities, registration, investigation and prosecution of cases.
9.8 Need for improving the performance of police in implementation of these

Acts.
There is a need for proper sensitization for police personnel at all levels on the
constitutional provisions and provisions of SC/ST (POA) Act and Rules and to
ensure that they respond properly when the victims come to the police stations with
complaints of practice of untouchability against them and atrocities.
The SC/ST(POA)Act stipulates that the cases have to be investigated by SDPO and
investigation should be completed in 30 days. It is appalling to learn that cases
pertaining to previous years 2001 onwards are still pending with police under
investigation.
While special courts have being constituted for trail of SC/ST(APOA) Act cases it is
sad to know that old cases pertaining to 1994 on wards are still pending trail for
various reasons.
Still large no of complaints are received by the National Commissions for SC/STS
and State commission for SC/ST, AP, Hyderabad on allegations of (i) non
registration of cases in the Police stations (ii) partisan attitude on the part of the
police personnel by colluding with the accused and threatening the compliant
victims to compromise the matters and also booking false counter cases against the
victims to pressurize them for compromise.
Section 4 of SC/ST (POA) Act provides for punishment with imprisonment to a
public servant who willfully neglects his duties required to be performed by him
under this Act.
Hence there is a need for improving the performance of police personnel at all
levels in the effective implementations of PCR Act and Rules, 1955 and SC/ST
(POA) Act, 1989.

FACTION CRIME
10.1 Faction is a long standing revenge-driven rivalry that exists between two groups,
families or castes in a village or highest resulting in violence between both the
groups. This phenomenon is peculiar to the three districts of Rayalaseema
(Kurnool, Kadapa and Anantapuram) and some districts of Circar (Guntur, Nellore
and Prakasham). After the real-estate boom in AP in 2005 / 2006 / 2007 factious
crime has come down drastically in the state.
10.2 Faction divides the village into two or more highly actively violent groups that pose
continued threat to lives and property of all members of the group. Factious
rivalries reach their peak during elections. Factious crime is a major obstacle to the
progress and development of these districts. The factionists use hunting sickles
and country made bombs to kill their opponents. To scuttle their opponents
economic resources, they cut off fruit gardens, burn hay stocks, attack their
properties etc.
10.3 During the year 2014, 6 cases of faction murders were registered in the State, when
compared with previous year nil cases were registered.
10.4 Nil cases of faction Riotings were registered in the years 2014 and in 2013
respectively. (Table -10).

CYBER CRIME
14.1 468 case were registered in 2014 as against 340 in 2013. Highest number of
cases reported from Visakhapatnam City (289) followed by Srikakulam (32),
Prakasham (23) and Vizianagaram (22).
14.2 Cybercrime, computer crime, e-crime, hi-tech crime or electronic crime generally
refers to criminal activity where in a computer is a tool or a target, or both. Thus the
term cybercrime is used to include criminal activity in which the computer or Internet
is a necessary part of the crime. These terms are also sometimes used to include
traditional crimes, such as fraud, theft, blackmail, forgery, and embezzlement in
which computers or networks are used to facilitate the illicit activity.
14.3 Computer as a tool: When the individual or the computer user is the main target of
Cybercrime, the computer can be considered as the tool rather than the target.
These crimes generally involve less technical expertise as the damage done
manifests itself in the real world. Human weaknesses are generally exploited. The
damage dealt is largely psychological and intangible, making legal action against
the variants more difficult. These are the crimes which have existed for centuries in
the offline. Scams, theft, and the likes have existed even before the development in
high-tech equipment. The same criminal has simply been given a tool which
increases his potential pool of victims and makes him all the harder to trace and
apprehend.
14.4 Computer as a target: In these cyber offences the computer is itself the target.
These crimes are committed by a selected group of criminals. Unlike crimes using
the computer as a tool, these crimes requires the technical knowledge of the
perpetrators. These crimes are relatively new, having been in existence for only as
long as computers have - which explain show unprepared society and the world in
general are towards combating these crimes. There are numerous crimes of this
nature committed daily on the internet.
14.5 Cybercrimes can be basically divided into 3 major categories:
14.5.1 Cyber Crimes against persons include a. Cyber Pornography / obscenity, b.

Defamation and c. Cyber stalking
a. Cyber Pornography: Cyber Pornography is publishing/ transmitting/ distributing
of textual or pictorial information, which is obscene, lascivious in nature in
electronic form. This can be by hosting a profile on a website, giving an e-mail,
through chat, SMS, MMS etc. Pornography or porn is the explicit depiction of
sexual subject matter with the sole intention of sexually exciting the viewer. It is
to a certain extent similar to erotica, which is the use of sexually arousing
imagery.
b. Cyber Defamation: Defamation is an act of imputing any person with intent to

lower the person in the estimation of the right-thinking members of society
generally do or to cause him to be shunned or avoided or to expose him to
hatred, contempt or ridicule. Cyber defamation is not different from conventional
defamation except the involvement of a virtual medium. In precise this is any
derogatory statement, which is designed to injure a person's business or
reputation. Hosting defamatory message; sending anonymous messages to
defame others etc come under this category.
c. Cyber stalking: Although there is no universally accepted definition of cyber

stalking, the term generally is defined as the use of information and
communications technology, particularly the Internet, by an individual or group
of individuals, to harass another individual, group of individuals, or organization.
The behavior includes false accusations, monitoring, the transmission of threats,
identity theft, damage to data or equipment, the solicitation of minors for sexual
purposes, and gathering information for harassment purposes. The harassment
must be such that a reasonable person, in possession of the same information,
would regard it as sufficient to cause another reasonable person distress.
Further it involves harassing or threatening behavior that an individual engages
in repeatedly, such as following a person, appearing at a person's home or
highest of business, making harassing phone calls, leaving written messages or
objects, or vandalizing a person's property.
14.5.2 Cyber Crimes against technology include A. Hacking, B. Denial of

Service Attack C. Virus and worm attacks etc.
A. Computer Hacking: Computer Hacking is the practice of modifying computer
hardware and software to accomplish a goal outside of the creators original
purpose.
B. Denial of Service Attack: denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed

denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer
resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out,
motives for, and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of
the concerted, malevolent efforts of a person or persons to prevent an
Internet site or service from functioning efficiently or at all, temporarily or
indefinitely. Perpetrators of DoS attacks typically target sites or services
hosted on high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment
gateways, and even DNS root servers.
C. Computer Virus and worm Attacks: A computer worm is a self-replicating

computer program. It uses a network to send copies of itself to other nodes
(computer terminals on the network) and it may do so without any user
intervention. Unlike a virus, it does not need to attach itself to an existing
program. Worms almost always cause harm to the network, if only by
consuming bandwidth, whereas viruses almost always corrupt or modify files
on a targeted computer
14.5.3 Cyber Crimes against property include A. Piracy, B. Phishing C. Nigerian Frauds
A. Computer Piracy: Any infringement of IPR (copyrights, trademark, patent, trade
secret) is piracy. It refers to practices done without the permission of the right
holder. Computer piracy is basically the unauthorized duplication and
distribution of the copyrighted computer software, which is also known as
"warez" and the pirates who are the people who collect and play with the copied
material. In the article the issues of piracy are viewed through topics like
sharing, business, and the legal technicality. Thus computer piracy include;
Software Piracy, media piracy. Software piracy is the unauthorized duplication,
distribution or use of computer software-- for example, making more copies of
software than the license allows, or installing software licensed for one computer
onto multiple computers or a server. Copying software is an act of copyright
infringement, and is subject to civil and criminal penalties. It's illegal whether you
use the copied software yourself, give it away, or sell it. Downloading movies
and songs from the Internet. Indulging in deep linking.
B. Phishing: Phishing is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire

sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by
masquerading as a trustworthy entity. This is done by using spoof e-mails and
directing people to fake websites to fool them into divulging personal / financial
details so criminals can access their accounts.
C. Nigerian Fraud: This fraud is a worldwide Scam running since the early 1980's
under Successive Governments of Nigeria involving Billions US$. It is also
referred to as "Advance Fee Fraud","419 Fraud" (Four-One-Nine) after the
relevant section of the Criminal Code of Nigeria.
i. The Scam operates as follows: The target receives an unsolicited fax, email,
or letter often concerning Nigeria or another African nation containing either a
money laundering or other illegal proposal OR you may receive a Legal and
Legitimate business proposal by normal means. Common variations on the
Scam include "over invoiced" or "double invoiced" oil or other supply and
service contracts where your Bad Guys want to get the overage out of Nigeria;
crude oil and other commodity deals; a "bequest" left you in a will; "money
cleaning" where your Bad Guy has a lot of currency that needs to be
"chemically cleaned" before it can be used and he needs the cost of the
chemicals; "spoof banks" where there is supposedly money in your name
already on deposit; "paying" for a purchase with a check larger than the
amount required and asking for change to be advanced; fake lottery 419; and
ordering items and commodities off "trading" sites on the web and then
cheating the seller. The variations of Advance Fee Fraud (419) are very
creative and virtually endless.
ii. At some point, the victim is asked to pay up front an Advance Fee of some
sort, be it an "Advance Fee", "Transfer Tax", "Performance Bond", Insurance
Fee or to extend credit, grant COD privileges, send back "change" on an
overage cashier's check or money order, etc. If the victim pays the Fee, there
are often many "Complications" which require still more advance payments
until the victim either quits, runs out of money, or both. If the victim extends
credit on a given transaction etc. he may also pay such fees ("nerfund" etc.),
and also stiffed for the Goods or Service with NO Effective Recourse.The
Nigerian Scam is, according to published reports, the Third to Fifth largest
industry in Nigeria. Victims have little recourse in this matter, because the
elites from which successive Governments of Nigeria have been drawn are
the Scammers - therefore, victims have little recourse in this matter. Monies
stolen by 419 operations are almost Never Recovered from Nigeria. Most 419
letters and emails originate from are traceable back to Nigeria. However,
some originate from other nations, mostly also West African nations such as
Ghana, Togo, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast (Cote DIvoire) etc. In most
cases 419 emails from other nations are also Nigerian in that the "Home
Office" of the fraudullers involved is Nigeria regardless of the source of the
contact materials. But there are occasionally some "local" copycats trying to
emulate the success of the Nigerians. These folks tend not to last too long
actually operating out of nations other than Nigeria, but they do try.
14.6 Information Technology Act 2000 (as amended by Information Technology

(Amendment) Act 2008)
The Information Technology Act 2000 (ITA-2000) is an Act of the Indian
Parliament (No 21 of 2000) notified on October 17, 2000. It has been enacted with
an aim to provide legal recognition for transactions carried out by means of
electronic data interchange and other means of electronic communication,
commonly referred to as "electronic commerce", which involve the use of
alternatives to paper based methods of communication and storage of information,
to facilitate electronic filing of documents with the Government agencies and further
to amend the Indian Penal Code, the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, the Bankers'
Books Evidence Act, 1891 and the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 and for matters
connected therewith or incidental there to. This is in precise has addressed the
following issues:
1. Legal Recognition of Electronic Documents

2. Legal Recognition of Digital Signatures
3. Offences and Contraventions
4. Justice Dispensation System for Cybercrimes Information technology Act 2000
consists of 94 sections segregated into 13 chapters. Four schedules form part of
the Act. In Chapter - XI the offences are prescribed.
Information Technology Act as amended as 11 penal sections i.e.,
Sec 65: Tampering with computer source documents.

Sec 66: Computer related offences like unauthorized copying, extracting
information, introducing virus or computer contaminant, denial of
service attack.
Sec 66-B: Punishment for dishonestly receiving stolen computer resource or
communication device,
Sec 66-C: Punishment for identity theft,
Sec 66-D: Punishment for cheating by personation by using computer resource,
Sec 66-E: Punishment for violation of privacy.
Sec 66-F: Punishment for cyber terrorism.
Sec 67: Punishment for publishing or transmitting obscene material in
electronic form.
Sec 67-A: Punishment for publishing or transmitting of material containing
sexually explicit act, etc. in electronic form.
Sec 67-B: Punishment for publishing or transmitting of material depicting
children in sexually explicit act, etc. in electronic form.
However the provisions of Indian Penal Code can also be invoked to deal
with cybercrimes. Sending threatening messages by email is punishable
under section 506 IPC, Sending defamatory messages by email Sec 499 and
500 IPC, Forgery of electronic records is an offence as per Sec 463 IPC and
Bogus Websites, Cyber Fraud like Nigerian Fraud and Phishing punishable
as per section 420 IPC. If there is Online Sale of drugs NDPS Act can be
invoked.
It can be concluded with note that Cybercrime is the latest and perhaps the
most complicated problem in the cyber world. Capacity of human mind is
unfathomable. It is not possible to eliminate cybercrime from the cyber space.
It is quite possible to check them with that aim in mind Govt.of India has
come with I T Act 2000 at a time when cyber-specific legislation was much
needed. It has filled up the lacuna for a law in the field of e-commerce and
cybercrimes. Yet some more legal issues like copy right with regard to web
contents, domain name disputes, liability of cyber cafes have not been
addressed.

14.10 Points for Consideration:

Do not take the assistance of the accused himself to switch on / log in to the system
this will prevent the chances of the accused tampering with the evidence.
If the systems were to be previewed or accessed to take a decision on whether a
system contains incriminating information or not, trained cyber crime investigators
adept at using write protect devices or technical experts services have to be used. If
in doubt, follow the recommended practices for seizure of digital evidences and
pack the systems for later preview or examination.
Remember that, at the time of seizure of the digital evidence, the monitors of
desktops kind of computers and keyboard / mouse do not contain digital evidences.
Hence, their seizure is not needed, unless IO is searching for any fingerprints / DNA
samples on them. Since this case involves the digital evidence, there is a need of
seeking expert opinion. The seized hard disk may be sent to the State FSL.
14.11 Forensic Examination:-
1. MOs to be forwarded through concerned court or SDPO and above for analysis.

CUSTODIAL DEATHS
15.1 Article 21 of the constitution of India: Protection of life and personal liberty: No
person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty, except according to
procedure established by law.
15.2 Custodial death has been described as one of the worst crimes in a civilized
society, governed by the rule of law: D.K. Basu Vs State of West Bengal, AIR 1997
SC 610 Para -36.
15.3 Custodial deaths are of two kinds: Deaths in Judicial Custody and deaths in Police
custody. In this chapter we present an analysis of the deaths in police custody only
in the State of A.P.
15.4 The unfortunate occurrence of custodial deaths can be prevented to a large extent,
if the staff of the Police stations take due care during interrogation and also take into
consideration, the physical and emotional well being of the suspect. It can be seen
from the figures that there are very few custodial deaths due to torture/ usage of
third degree methods.
15.5 1 case of custodial death was reported in A.P. during 2014 as against 4 & 7 cases
in 2013 and 2012 respectively. The classification of such cases for the years 2012
to 2014 is shown in Table 15.2.

MISSING PERSONS
16.1 A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or
dead cannot be confirmed as their location and fate is not known. A missing person
can be a source of immense trauma and concern for family members and friends.
16.2 A person may be missing due to their own decision, accident, crime, death or many
other reasons. People disappear for many reasons:
1. To escape domestic abuse, such as child physical abuse, emotional abuse, by

a parent(s)/guardian(s)/sibling(s)/spouse.
2. kidnapping
3. Abduction
4. Suicide in a remote location
5. Victim of murder (body disguised, destroyed, or hidden).
6. Mental illness
7. Death by natural causes (disease) or accident far from home without

identification.
8. Sold into slavery, serfdom, sexual servitude, or other bonded labour
9. To avoid discovery of a crime or apprehension by law-enforcement authorities.
10. Joining a cult or other religious organization.
16.3 APPM PSO 410 (2) empowers police to register and investigate cases. In AP, FIRs
are registered under head: man/ woman / child / girl missing.
16.4 The issue of Missing Persons, though very serious crime, has not got the attention it
deserves in Police professional circles.
16.5 Every year in Andhra Pradesh alone around 6000 persons go missing. While a
sizeable number of them return home or are traced, almost 30 to 40% are not
traced. Their disappearance cause tremendous agony, anguish and helplessness to
their near and dear ones.
16.6 It is imperative that greater attention is paid by the police in tracing missing persons
as it has got not only socio-economic but also national security ramifications, both
internal and external. The fate of missing persons is a matter of conjecture and it
can be any of the following list of possibilities, which is again not exhaustive:
a) They got murdered or killed in accident and their bodies remain unidentified.
b) They get inducted in organized crime, human trafficking include bootlegging /

drug running etc., with girls being forced into prostitution.
c) They, particularly the young and gullible ones, join terrorist/extremist outfits for
their existence.

MARINE POLICE
1) The Indian Coast Guard was created as a lead maritime force for non- military
maritime Security in Indias maritime zone & started functioning on enactment of the
Coast Guard Act, 1978. Till that Indian Navy & the Customs department were looking
into the issues of maritime security, but in a limited way. After establishing Coast Guard,
they started patrolling on coastline to protect the maritime interest of India. During such
patrolling, as and when they used to apprehend criminals /offenders or seize
contraband etc, they used to hand them over to either to the Customs Department or to
the local Police to initiate necessary legal action.
2) Of late issues like unauthorized exploitation of sea resources of India in the Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ), problems relating to oil spills, rescue operations and other
international obligations cropped up and the Coast Guard was forced to concentrate
more beyond the territorial waters which left a gap in having a fool proof security cover
of the coastal areas. More over the Coast Guard vessels, technically, cannot patrol in
the shallow areas off the coast. On this background, Coastal Police Stations have been
conceived which will be tasked to look after the Policing needs on the coastal areas and
in the territorial waters of India.
3) It may be made very clear that Coast Guard enjoys, even today, the legal mandate to
apprehend any offender in the territorial waters and also have the power of search and
seizure of suspect vessels on the sea. After detecting an offence or apprehending an
offender, the Coast Guard will now take the assistance of the Coastal Police Station for
taking legal action like handing over the person or the seized property and registration
of criminal cases in such Police Stations. Both Coastal Police Stations and the Coast
Guard will work on a mutually complimentary basis without any conflict of interest.
Coast Guard, infect will supplement the efforts of the Coastal Police Stations in
implementing the Coastal security scheme.
4) The objectives of establishing Coastal Police Station would evidently be to strengthen

the info structure for patrolling and surveillance of coastal areas, particularly shallow
areas close to the coast and to check and counter all activities which are illegal and
contrary to the laws, rules and regulations and other such bye laws, local & special
laws as applicable in the concerned states/ UTs.
5) Objectives of Coastal Security Police:
i. To provide an additional line of defence in the Coast line of the country.

ii. To prevent the intrusion of militants and anti- national elements into the country
through sea.
iii. To prevent smuggling of petrol, diesel, medicines, illicit, liquor and other essential
commodities and valuable items from the country to other countries through sea
and vice versa.
iv. To prevent illegal transportation of arms/ ammunition, explosives, narcotic
substances and also to prevent human trafficking from and to the country through
the sea.
v. To prevent collusion between some fishermen and smugglers or militants for
committing unlawful acts.
vi. To obtain community participation in Coastal Security.
vii. To collect intelligence on all the above matters.
viii. To Co-Ordinate among related agencies like State Police, Indian Navy, Coast
Guard, Fisheries Department, Customs, etc. To improve quality of Coastal Policing
ix. To help the district administration in the Coastal districts in disaster management.
x. To handle law & order situations which may arise on account of clashes between
various communities/ groups both on shore/ off shore.
xi. To effectively impose ban on monsoon trawling in some states and enforce the law
of the state relating to fishing, if so desired by the concerned state.
xii. To handle environment issues like oil-spills and pollution by toxic substances on
territorial waters through co-ordination among various agencies.
xiii. To protect the maritime interest of the country by such acts as prescribed/ directed
by the concerned State/ Union territory.
6) Duties of Coastal Security Police
Coastal Security Police will be engaged in policing the territorial waters with a view to
enforcing the criminal laws of the land and providing a sense of security.
7) Salient duties of Coastal Security Police
i. Search and seizures in respect of trawlers, vessels, fishing boats and to apprehend
persons involved/ Suspected to be involved in drug trafficking, explosives,
contraband goods, arms and ammunition, dangerous materials, smuggling of and
trafficking in human beings etc in contravention of Law in order to prevent these
unlawful activities.
ii. Investigating criminal cases registered either by concerned Marine PS or being
handed over by such agencies like Coast Guard, Navy, Customs and Department of
fisheries etc in such situations, the investigation will conducted as per the Police
standing Orders of the concerned State and the Law relating to investigation as
applicable.
iii. To develop and collect intelligence in order to prevent landing of arms &
ammunition, explosives and other contraband and unauthorized entry of vessels
and persons etc (especially of Foreign origin).
iv. To keep surveillance over the villages, roads, highways, landing points, jetties,
resorts, hotels, lodges and restaurants.
v. To cooperate with other agencies like Navy, Customs, Coast Guard and Intelligence
wings to prevent and detect unlawful activities.
vi. To render need based assistance to Indian Coast Guard, Customs and Department
of fisheries and tourism.
vii. Organizing search, salvage and rescue operations whenever the need arises.
viii. To take steps to preserve maritime environment and to prevent maritime pollution.
ix. To have frequent contact with fishermen and others engaged in the sea related
trade and business activities to ensure smooth contact thereof.
x. To assist the district/ State authorities in Disaster Management especially when it
relates to sea.
xi. Preventing as well as dealing with oil spills and spills of toxic substances on
Territorial waters in collaboration with other agencies.
8) Jurisdiction of Coastal Security Police
i. The functional jurisdiction of the Coast Guard extends from the baseline to the
limits of the EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) i.e. -2 NM in to the sea
ii. The Coast Guard along with the concerned state Government Police shares the
jurisdiction from the baseline to 12 NM, the territorial waters and the custom water (
-24 NM) respectively.
iii. In spite of the above mentioned legally defined jurisdictions in the Territorial waters,
it has been considered and accepted that owing to infrastructural capability and
operational limitations, it will not be feasible for the Coastal Police with the present
infrastructure to operate effectively beyond 5 NM from the Coastline notwithstanding
the fact that legal jurisdiction of Coastal Police Station will extend up to 12 NM.
iv. Therefore, on the basis of balance of operational convenience, it is laid down that
Coastal Police Stations may exercise their operational jurisdictions; in terms of
Patrolling, surveillance etc; within 5 NM from the baseline.
v. Beyond 5 NM- the operational jurisdiction will be exercised by the Indian Coast
Guard. However, the Coast Guard & the Coastal Police will be actively co-ordinating
and collaborating in their operations for optimum effectiveness.

NOTE ON THE FINGER PRINT BUREAU, CID, AP, HYDERABAD.
Andhra Pradesh Finger Print Bureau was established in the year 1959 through GO
Ms No.308 Home (Police, B) Dept., dated 6th Feb., 1959. Subsequently, 18 District Finger
Print Units were established in all District/City headquarters under the modernization of
Police Forces in a phased manner between the periods from 1971 to 2010.
Finger Print Bureau functions under the administrative control of the Addl. Director
General of Police, CID., A.P. Hyderabad and under the technical control of Director, Finger
Print Bureau, CID., A.P. Hyderabad.
The main objective of the Bureau collects and maintains a large number of FP
Records for using them for Criminal Investigation. The Ten Digit FP Records are being
maintained in the Bureau for the purpose of establishing both identity and past Criminal
history of a suspect and for identifying the offenders from the chance Finger Prints located
at the Scenes of Crime. At present the APFPB is having 3,21,221 lakhs fingerprint records
and 42,100 UN Solved Chance Prints in the database of FACTS-5 system.
