[Image: Challenges in Organized Crimes]
- India has no legal framework to punish organized crimes in India, some of the states have but that is not sufficient enough.
- The existing general conspiracy laws and Act are inadequate as it targets individual only, we don’t have laws for criminal groups.
- It is very difficult to find proof, that organized crime groups are structured hierarchically, it is not possible to have the actual perpetrators, and there is no legal backing for witnesses, as there is no law for the protection of witnesses against these organized gangs.
- The witness doesn’t provide the actual details of the incident, there is a lack of details and training for the police officers to catch hold of these gangs we have a lack of staff in the police stations.
- We have a poor criminal justice system, and most of the states don’t have enough resources to fund the agencies, there is no power agency for the investigation of organized crimes.
- Moreover, India doesn’t have any national-level organization to coordinate the work of the state, city police as well as central executive agencies, there is also no agency to gather, accumulate, or investigate, documents related to organized crimes, and lack of exchange of information, followed by lack of corporate framework, there is problems of coordination between the central and the state government or between states, viewpoint clashes, etc.
