ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI HARIBHAI PARATHIBHAI CHAUDHARY)

(a) to (d):   The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) does not maintain data on inter-State crimes separately. The details of such cases registered  by  Delhi  Police  and  persons  arrested  in  these  cases  is  at Annexure.  Delhi  Police  have  regular  inter-state  coordination  meetings, which are held on quarterly basis to exchange terrorist/intelligence inputs and other issues relating to crimes, criminals, law and order, traffic etc. The Zonal Integrated Police Network (ZIPNET) project of Delhi  Police is for sharing real time information, which includes transmission of data and documents in order to fight interstate crimes and arrest of criminals with neighboring states. The ZIPNET project is also to maintain and share real time  information  on  crime  and  criminals,  missing  persons,  Un-identified dead  bodies,  un-identified  persons  found,  stolen/  unclaimed  vehicles, stolen/missing mobile phone in an electronically secured environment.

## L.S.US.Q.NO.for 08.12.2015

Further,  'Police'  and  'Public  Order'  are  State  subjects  under  the seventh  Schedule  to  the  Constitution  of  India  and  therefore,  the  State Governments are primarily responsible for prevention, detection, registration and investigation of crime and  for prosecuting the criminals through their law enforcement agencies. The Union Government, however, attaches  highest  importance  to  the  interstate  crime  and  has  been advising the States/UTs from time to time to take immediate measures to check  crimes  related  to  Human  Trafficking,  which  often  has  interstate dimensions.  The  Advisories  on  Human  Trafficking  are  available  in  the Ministry's website http://mha.nic.in/.
