A major step towards technology driven law enforcement has been taken with the launch of YAKSH, an AI based policing application introduced by the Uttar Pradesh Police.
The application was inaugurated by Hon’ble Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and is powered by JARVIS One, a next generation multimodal artificial intelligence platform developed by Staqu. YAKSH is designed to strengthen crime prevention, investigation, and beat level policing across the state.
The system was unveiled during the 2 day senior police officers conference Police Manthan 2025 at a closed door government event, highlighting the strategic and sensitive nature of the technology. The launch marks a significant advance in India’s move towards AI led and data driven policing.
YAKSH is built on the JARVIS One multimodal AI engine, which can process video, audio, and text data together within a single system. Unlike conventional AI tools, JARVIS One works entirely on internal police data, ensuring data sovereignty, security, and regulatory compliance.
Through the platform, police officers can search FIRs and case files using natural language, identify suspects through facial recognition from photographs, match voice samples, and analyse CCTV footage, audio recordings, and text records together. The system also generates AI led insights without using any external datasets. This marks a shift from earlier deployments that focused mainly on video analytics, extending AI support across crime, security, and public safety operations.
One of the key features of YAKSH is verified data creation at the beat level. Criminal data is created at the police station level and physically verified by beat officers before being added to the AI system. If an accused person is linked across districts, the platform alerts the concerned district and beat officer, triggering on ground verification at the residence. This approach ensures that AI models operate on continuously validated real world data.
YAKSH also introduces an AI driven criminal ranking system. Offenders are categorised and colour coded based on crime severity, repeat behaviour, weapon usage, and risk indicators. The platform supports gang and network analysis, automatic linking of FIRs and associates, real time alerts on movement and jurisdiction changes, and identification of Top 10 criminals at police station, district, and state levels.
At the core of the YAKSH system is CrimeGPT, a generative AI interface that allows officers to query crime data in simple language without technical commands.
The JARVIS One framework is also being adopted by the India Cyber Crime Coordination Centre for cybercrime intelligence, reflecting its wider national relevance.
