Jaipur, May 10: In a significant policy announcement in Jaipur, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma unveiled a series of initiatives aimed at modernising the state’s legal system and strengthening its cybercrime response infrastructure.
Speaking at a workshop for Public Prosecutors and Special Public Prosecutors organised by the Department of Law and Legal Affairs at Birla Auditorium, the Chief Minister said the government is working toward a justice system that is faster, more transparent, and more accessible through the use of technology and institutional reforms.
A key highlight of the announcement is the planned rollout of AI-based cybercrime analysis systems, a dedicated cyber helpline call centre, and the establishment of Cyber Police Stations in every district by 2030. He also stated that Cyber Help Desks have already been set up in all police stations across the state.
To further strengthen digital security, the government will create a Rajasthan Cyber Crime Control Centre designed to detect, prevent, and respond to cyber offences, including cases of so-called “digital arrest.” The system will rely on artificial intelligence to analyse cyber threats and improve response efficiency across enforcement agencies.
The Chief Minister emphasised the importance of public prosecutors in upholding justice, describing them as a key pillar of the legal system. He also underlined the need for continuous training, especially as laws evolve and cyber-related crimes become more complex.
Referring to recent legal reforms introduced under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he described the new criminal laws as a transformative step toward a more citizen-focused justice system, supported by digital governance and modern administrative tools.
Sharma also highlighted ongoing improvements in Rajasthan’s judicial infrastructure, including the establishment of 42 new courts. He noted that legal aid has been provided to over 27,000 people, while compensation of ?85 crore has been distributed to nearly 4,000 victims under the state’s victim compensation scheme.
In addition, nearly 10,000 cyber awareness programmes have been conducted across the state, reaching more than 12 lakh citizens as part of efforts to improve digital safety awareness.
State Law and Legal Affairs Minister Jogaram Patel reiterated the government’s commitment to ensuring timely justice for all sections of society. Senior officials, including the Advocate General, Chief Secretary, Director General of Police, and legal department representatives, attended the workshop.
