'Pabandi': Chandauli police deploy AI portal
to track repeat offenders

A new AI-powered system is helping Chandauli police stay one step ahead of troublemakers by tracking repeat offenders and flagging potential law and order situations before they escalate. Chandauli police launched an artificial intelligence-based portal called "Pabandi" about a month ago to monitor repeat offenders, rumour mongers and individuals who have previously faced preventive action.

The portal supervises cases registered under Sections 126 and 135 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). It automatically generates alerts when preventive action files are pending or require priority attention, making officers aware of the overall situation. More than 5,000 preventive action cases across Chandauli are being actively reviewed and monitored through the Pabandi Portal.

"Once a general diary (GD) entry concerning any such dispute is recorded at a police station, the case is immediately uploaded onto the portal. Based on responses to a structured set of questions, the portal automatically categorises each case into high, medium or low risk. This classification allows senior officers to closely monitor cases across the district in real time."

What the Hindustan Times reported on

The Pabandi Portal is an AI case management system I designed and built for Uttar Pradesh Police in Chandauli District. It monitors cases under BNSS Sections 126 and 135 — covering property disputes, breach of public peace, women-related disputes, communal tensions, and election-related matters.

The system automatically categorises every case as high, medium, or low risk based on structured inputs — giving SP Langeh and senior officers real-time visibility into 5,000+ active preventive cases across the district. The digital intervention has made preventive policing more proactive, structured, and data-driven.

This Hindustan Times piece is among the first national news coverage of an AI system deployed within Indian district-level law enforcement — independent reporting from a journalist who visited Chandauli and spoke directly with the Superintendent of Police.
