VERY IMPORTANT:

Delhi Police has admitted in the SC that facial recognition technology was deployed during the Jantar Mantar protests.

Now for facial recognition to make a “match”, there needs to be an underlying database of photos+details of citizens. So where did Delhi Police get that database from?

In response to an RTI of mine in 2020, the Election Commission admitted that it had shared the entire voter list WITH PHOTOS with Delhi Police during the Delhi riots investigation.

Interestingly, ECI’s own rules PROHIBIT sharing of photo electoral roll with ANY agency. And yet, the ECI broke its own rules in 2020 & handed over the data to Delhi Police.

Therefore:

👉 Did ECI supply voter lists with photos to Delhi Police for their facial recognition database during Jantar Mantar protests?

👉 What other agencies (Aadhaar, IT Dept, Transport Dept etc) have shared their database with Delhi Police to be used for facial recognition?

👉 If no agency has provided any data, how is Delhi Police managing to conduct facial recognition on EVERYONE (not just those with a criminal record) during protests?

There’s a reason that the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act has NOT yet been fully notified despite being passed by Parliament in Aug 2023 (THREE YEARS AGO).

It’s 2 simple questions really:

👉 Will the Delhi Police disclose what database it is using for facial recognition?

👉 Will ECI & other bodies confirm whether they’re still providing photo databases to Delhi Police?

Naxal is slowly becoming like paneer in our lingo. You can add any prefix to it and come up with a few dish. Urban Naxal, Dimaghi Naxal, Mughlai Naxal, Kadhai Naxal.

India needs a strong Government. Modi does not matter. I can go back & open a tea stall. But, the nation can't suffer anymore.

@peeleraja it's availability bias. People are exposed to the harmful effects of unethical STEM grads on a much larger scale and more immediately than the effects of unethical humanities grads (tech vs policy for eg)

This is not how paper leaking works. The coaching centers buy the leaked paper. They dont then just pass it on to students saying "hey here is the leaked paper - enjoy!"

The coaching center has a "last minute revision" session. Their top students are segregated separately. The students are bright and will get very high scores anyway. They are now asked to practice 200 "mock" questions. 50 of these are leaked questions. If a bright kid has seen a question, he/she will remember it and get a huge advantage in an exam. They largely dont know they are being fed leaked questions.

A bright kid who may have got 690 marks anyway will now get 710 marks because he/she has seen a few questions before. He/she most likely did not know it was being fed - they were not in on the conspiracy.

Smart coaching institute owners wont leak questions to dumb students. In fact this is why it blew up this time - some coaching center got too greedy.
