Officials said the Jammu and Kashmir Police is the first police department in the country to introduce such a device.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police has introduced GPS tracker anklets for monitoring the terror accused out on bail, becoming the first police force in the country to do so, officials said on Saturday. The GPS tracker anklet is a wearable device affixed around the ankle of the person to be monitored and tracks their movement.
The device is already being used in Western countries such as the USA, United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand to track the movement of accused persons on bail, parole and house arrest and accordingly de-congests prisons to a large extent.
The officials of the State Investigation Agency (SIA) of the J-K Police have introduced the GPS tracker anklet for monitoring of bail-out terror accused, the officials said.
