Developed with the vision of supporting India's law enforcement agencies through homegrown technology, Chitragupt represents a major step towards strengthening the nation's digital investigation capabilities while reducing dependence on imported forensic tools. Designed specifically to meet the operational and legal requirements of Indian investigative agencies, the platform enables investigators to extract, recover, analyze, and present digital evidence from mobile devices efficiently and securely.
The solution offers advanced capabilities, including mobile data extraction, recovery of deleted information, AI-assisted evidence analysis, multilingual support, and the generation of court-ready forensic reports. These features allow investigators to handle complex cybercrime, financial fraud, organized crime, and other digital investigations with greater speed and accuracy. Chitragupt also incorporates proprietary techniques to access encrypted and locked devices, making it a comprehensive solution for modern digital forensic requirements.
The development of Chitragupt has been led by Rushit Soni, Founder Director of Forensic CyberTech Pvt. Ltd., whose vision has been to build a globally competitive forensic platform entirely in India. The project has also benefited from the strategic guidance of Lt. Col. Santosh Khadsare (Retd.), an eminent forensic expert whose extensive experience has helped shape the platform according to the practical needs of investigators in the field.
During the International Police Expo 2026, Chitragupt attracted considerable interest from police departments, cybercrime units, forensic laboratories, and investigative agencies. Live demonstrations highlighted the platform's ease of use, comprehensive functionality, and its ability to deliver reliable digital evidence within significantly reduced timelines. The positive response from the law enforcement community reflected the growing confidence in indigenous forensic technologies developed under the Government of India's innovation initiatives.
Beyond its successful exhibition, Chitragupt is already being utilized by multiple law enforcement agencies across India. Its deployment has contributed to faster evidence collection, improved investigative efficiency, enhanced forensic reporting, and reduced dependency on costly foreign forensic solutions. The platform stands as an example of how collaboration between government initiatives and private sector innovation can address critical national security and policing challenges.
As cybercrime continues to evolve, the demand for robust and reliable digital forensic solutions has never been greater. Chitragupt demonstrates India's growing capability to develop world-class forensic technologies that are tailored to the country's legal framework and investigative needs. More than just a technology platform, it symbolizes the success of the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision by showcasing how indigenous innovation can empower law enforcement agencies with cutting-edge tools built in India, for India. With continued advancements in artificial intelligence, cloud-based forensic infrastructure, and investigator training, Chitragupt is well-positioned to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of digital investigations and reinforcing India's technological self-reliance in the field of forensic science.
