Haryana's Home Department urges improved conviction rates. Focus on evidence-based investigations, digital tools, and enhancing witness protection.

Haryana Pushes to Raise Crime Conviction Rates

Sumita Misra leads Haryana's effort to enhance conviction rates in serious crimes, focusing on evidence, digital tools, and witness protection policies.

Haryana's Home Department urges improved conviction rates

Haryana's officials push for improved conviction rates in serious crimes. Emphasis on evidence-based investigations, digital tools, and witness protection.

Haryana's Additional Chief Secretary, Home Department, Sumita Misra, on Thursday called on the state's police to intensify efforts to raise the conviction rate in heinous crimes, including sexual assault, gang rape, murder, and drug trafficking.
While chairing the 25th state level committee meeting under the 'Chinhit Apradh' initiative, Misra highlighted the need to surpass the current 61.5 per cent conviction rate.
During the meeting, it was apprised by the officials that the state has recently taken up 117 new cases under the initiative for February and March, 2025 and is actively monitoring 1,683 ongoing cases.
She emphasised that swift, evidence-backed investigations and timely forensic reports are crucial for securing convictions.
"Every effort must be made to bring justice to victims swiftly. Delay or negligence in investigation or trial weakens public trust in the system," Misra said in an official statement.
She directed district police officers and prosecutors to work closely together, suggesting the appointment of special prosecutors in select cases for stronger court representation.
Misra also urged regular monitoring of serious cases and warned that accountability would be fixed for any lapses.
She further instructed officers to create a district-wise list of serious crime cases pending for over six months, emphasising that these cases must be revived on a priority basis with proper legal strategy and administrative monitoring.
Misra also called for equipping prosecution teams with digital tools and training so that electronic and forensic evidence can be presented effectively in court.
Additionally, she directed that Haryana's newly adopted witness protection policy be enforced rigorously to provide safety and confidence to witnesses, especially in sensitive cases.
Misra said that District Level Committees (DLCs) must ensure compliance with Section 346 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, so that 'Chinhit Apradh' cases are heard in court at the earliest.
Meanwhile, the statement said to strengthen investigations, the State Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) is speeding up DNA and forensic reports, particularly for sensitive cases.
The meeting was attended by Additional Director General of Police/State (Crime Branch), Mamta Singh through video conferencing.
Inspector-General of Police (Criminal Investigation Department) Maneesh Chaudhary, Deputy Inspector General of Police (State Crime Branch) Hamit Akhtar along with other senior officers were present in person during the meeting.

She was alleged to have "aided and abetted those in charge of the camp in the systematic killing of those imprisoned there between June 1943 and April 1945 in her function as a stenographer and typist in the camp commandant's office."

Germany convicts 97-year-old former secretary at Nazi concentration camp

She was alleged to have "aided and abetted those in charge of the camp in the systematic killing of those imprisoned there between June 1943 and April 1945 in her function as a stenographer and typist in the camp commandant's office."

A German court on Tuesday convicted a 97-year-old woman of being an accessory to murder in over 10,000 cases for her role as a secretary to the SS commander of the Nazis' Stutthof concentration camp during World War II.
Irmgard Furchner was accused of being part of the apparatus that helped the camp function.
The Itzehoe state court in northern Germany gave her a two-year suspended sentence, German news agency dpa reported.
She was alleged to have &ldquo;aided and abetted those in charge of the camp in the systematic killing of those imprisoned there between June 1943 and April 1945 in her function as a stenographer and typist in the camp commandant&rsquo;s office.&rdquo;
The verdict and sentence were in line with prosecutors' demands.
Defense lawyers had asked for their client to be acquitted, arguing that the evidence hadn&rsquo;t shown beyond doubt that Furchner knew about the systematic killings at the camp, meaning there was no proof of intent as required for criminal liability.
In her closing statement, Furchner said she was sorry for what had happened and regretted that she had been at Stutthof at the time.
Furchner was tried in juvenile court because she was 18 and 19 at the time of the alleged crimes and the court couldn't establish beyond doubt her &ldquo;maturity of mind&rdquo; at the time of the alleged offenses.
Presiding Judge Dominik Gross nonetheless noted that she could have resigned from her position at any time.

A fresh conviction was handed out in the George Floyd murder case which sparked widespread Black Lives Matter protests in USA.
On 7 July, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 21 years in prison for violating Floyd's civil rights. Chauvin had earlier been sentenced to 22 and a half years in jail for murder and manslaughter.
On May 25, 2020, Chauvin had killed African-American Floyd by pinning him to the ground for over 9 minutes even as the latter said that he was unable to breathe. During the July 7 hearing, Chauvin said that he wishes the best for George Floyd's children but did not issue a direct apology.
Chauvin had earlier signed a plea deal which allows the two jail sentences to run concurrently. He will also be transferred from a Minnesota state prison to a federal incarceration facility where he would be safer and under less-restrictive conditions, as per experts.

In a first conviction in the Delhi riots of February 2020, a court on Monday convicted a man for being part of a riotous mob that set a house on fire.
Dinesh Yadav has been found guilty for being a member of an unlawful assembly, rioting, arson, house trespassing, and robbery. He was part of the mob that set house of 73-year-old Manori on fire during the riots.
The judge will pronounce the sentence on December 22 and Yadav could face up to 10 years in jail.
As per the prosecution, Yadav was an "active member of the riotous mob" and took active participation in vandalizing and arson on the night of February 25.
Manori had alleged a mob of around 150-200 rioters attacked her house when her family was not present and looted all the articles and even the buffalo.
The 25-year-old Yadav was arrested on June 8, 2020. The court framed charges against him on August 3, 2021, to which he pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.
Communal clashes had broken out in northeast Delhi in February 2020, after violence between the Citizenship (Amendment) Act supporters and its protesters spiraled out of control leaving at least 53 people dead and over 700 injured.
