A brilliant triple-murder case solved by Kerala Police after 19 years using AI tools.

Probably the first of its kind in India. 🧵

A big lesson to police forces of India and beyond.

[Siddharth's Echelon @SiddharthKG7]

Kerala police deserves extra praises as the case was with CBI. Most police departments just do not care about a case when it is handed over to CBI.

In this case, Kerala police not only traced the man, but also found his address by AI tools. Then they forwarded a readymade case to CBI.

Both criminals are now in judicial custody.
