Inside the AI surveillance vans at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar protest site
Two Delhi Police surveillance vehicles have been stationed outside Kerala House, close to the Jantar Mantar protest site, according to a report in The Indian Express. One is the force’s Mobile Command and Control Vehicle, which streams live CCTV to officers on site. The other is Ikshana, a camera van whose feeds are processed by facial recognition software.
Video circulating on social media over the past two days appears to show the system in operation: officers seated before monitors as software outlines faces in the crowd and checks them against a police database. Financial Express has not independently verified the clips.
