Amit Shah launches BHARATPOL that can usher new era in India's international investigation
Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah on Tuesday inaugurated the BHARATPOL portal developed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.

Amit Shah also presented police medals to 35 award-winning CBI officers, who were honoured with the President’s Police Medal for Distinguished Service and the Home Minister’s Medal for Excellence in Investigation.
On this occasion, several dignitaries, including the Union Home Secretary, the Director of CBI, and the Secretary of DoPT, were present.
In his address, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Amit Shah, stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is ushering into a new era in international investigation with the launch of BHARATPOL.
He mentioned that through BHARATPOL, every agency and police force in India will be able to seamlessly connect with INTERPOL, thereby expediting investigations.
Amit Shah said that the country will celebrate the centenary of independence in the year 2047 and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called the present period as Amrit Kaal.
He said that 140 crore people of the country have also acknowledged this period as Amrit Kaal and taken a collective pledge to make India first in every sphere in the world by 2047.
He said that there are many milestones to achieve in fulfillment of this resolve, and the first milestone will be to make India the third largest economy in the world by 2027.
Shah said that ‘Amrit Kaal’ is the time period to fulfill the resolve to make India a fully developed nation by 2047.
He said that ‘Amrit kaal’ is a golden opportunity for India.
Union Home Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, India's journey from being a regional leader to a global leader is being shaped through scientific roadmaps and time-bound execution of programs.
He said that India has continued to make good progress in this path. Shri Shah emphasized on the need to upgrading our systems and mechanisms as we move forward and tackle global challenges, and BHARATPOL is a timely step in that direction.
Amit Shah stated that the five key modules of BHARATPOL – Connect, INTERPOL Notices, References, Broadcast, and Resources – provide a technological platform to support all our law enforcement agencies.
He explained that through Connect, all our law enforcement agencies will essentially function as an extension of INTERPOL's National Central Bureau (NCB-New Delhi).
He added that the system will ensure quick, secure, and structured transmission of requests for INTERPOL notices, enabling a scientific mechanism to swiftly locate criminals from India and across the globe, within India.
Shah highlighted that the INTERPOL References from 195 countries will make it much simpler to seek and provide international assistance for investigations abroad.
He mentioned that requests for assistance from 195 countries will now be immediately available through the Broadcast module, while the Resources module will facilitate the exchange and management of documents and capacity-building initiatives.
Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation highlighted the portal's key feature — a real-time interface — that will enable seamless and effective communication among agencies to enhance crime control measures.
Union Home Minister stated that the portal will significantly expedite responses to domestic and international requests for real-time data sharing, including the issuance of Red Corner Notices and other alerts through a global network.
He noted that, for years, criminals committing crimes in India and fleeing to other countries have evaded the reach of Indian laws.
However, with the implementation of modern systems like BHARATPOL, such criminals can now be brought within the ambit of justice
