2. Date, time and duration of the call.( From Call Data Report)
3. The financial status of the subscriber. (From Monthly Bill).
4. The location of work place. ( From Tower Location )
5. Location of subscriber during night etc. (From Tower Location).
6. From tower dump analysis we can track the offender also.
7. The direction of coming/fleeing away of offender can be traceable from CDR
8. Association of offenders can be tracked out.
and many other important clues can be traceable by proper analysis.
During investigation of kidnapping / human trafficking cases tracing tower location of the cell
phone of criminals and call data analysis of the same can play an important role to rescue the
victims and to apprehend the criminal as well. So, IO should gather professional skill to analyze the
call data report of Cell Phone of accused / suspects. Considering the importance of Call Data
Analysis of Cell Phone of criminals during crime investigation, a special unit titled as Call
Monitoring Cell is established in every Police District. Call Monitoring Cell can provide the
subscriber details, tower location and call data report of a particular cell phone number to IO.
In Cell Phone Missing cases the IO can get the information about the user of the phone through
Service Providers. Service Provider can supply the required information by matching the IMEI No
of the cell phone. It may be mentioned here that usually the IMEI No of a cell phone has 15 digits.
If first 14 digits matched with the CDR (IMEI No) of the missing cell phones it could be ascertain
that the said missing phone has been used by whom.
In the event of Call Monitoring the strictest privacy is maintained both in district and state level. In
district level Superintendent of Police of the district is the nodal officer and the state level a
competent authority in the state intelligence branch is earmarked. In case of any prayer for tracking
calls are required by the district / unit, the same should be forwarded to the Home Secretary, Govt.
of West Bengal by the unit in-charge / nodal officer through the competent authority of state
intelligence branch for obtaining necessary approval.

CHAPTER- IX
MANAGEMENT OF SOURCE / AGENT / INFORMER
Criminal Intelligence means management of source / agent / informer for prevention and detection
of crime and maintenance of law and order. Police officer especially the investigating officer must
maintain source/agent/ informer for collection of information in respect of criminal liability of
offender, his whereabouts, recovery of stolen property, recovery of other exhibits in connection
with a criminal case. The Investigating Officer is not legally bound to disclose the identity of
sources, neither to the Court nor any other authority.
General Principle of Management of Source/ agent / informer:
1. They should be properly selected.
2. Any individual irrespective of his/her trade, profession may become source for a single
occasion or permanently depending upon the skill of the Police personnel.
3. They should be properly guided by Police and maintained under cover.
4. They should be properly paid through source money as per prescribed procedure.
5. They should be utilized for intelligence network.
6. Their information should be verified/cross- checked before taking any action.
7. They should be dealt with care and caution.
8. They should not be misused for any non-professional purposes.
9. Female sources should be maintained carefully and intelligently as they appear to be vital
source for breakthrough in investigation.
10. They should not be given false assurance.
11. IO should not express his dependence or any type of compulsion on sources.
12. IO should not express his strategy before source.
Criminal Intelligence: Use of Electronic Devices:
Modern era is by and large controlled through electronic devices. Cell Phone Monitoring is
presently done by different Investigating agencies for the detection of the crime. Surveillance upon
a particular person through call monitoring mechanism requires the order of Home Secretary of the
State. Police officers monitor the cell phones or electronic gadgets to track out the movements of
criminals to establish their contact with co-accused / gang members and to discover the stolen
property with its location. Police Officer should be user friendly with electronic devices and
technique with scientific approach and develop skill for collecting criminal intelligence. This call
monitoring mechanism has replaced the role of manual source a greater amount, though a
combined effort is advisable for a total success. Sometimes call monitoring mechanism also proves
effective to keep track on the manual source/agent.

I. HISTORY OF THE CASE:

One Giriraj Daman, Chairperson of Camerina (Camera stores) lodged a complaint that theft was
been committed in Camerina Barasat on Jessore road at the night of 30/31.10.13. During
investigation, it clarifies that the front shutter of the said shop is only tilted to 06(six) inches and the
outside annex locks were changed. The inbuilt shutter locks were good and after the arrival of
police the authorities of Camerina broke the lock and submitted the complaint.

Moreover, the shop possessed a CCTV camera which was in the night mode, but astonishingly the
miscreants stole away the DVR (storage unit) of the said CCTV Camera. The CCTV Camera was
nabbed with one internet BSNL broadband connection through fixed I.P. address 117.218.11.41 by
which the owner of the stores can see from anywhere of the world what was actually going on
inside the stores. While I stepped inside the stores after breaking open the annex lock I found the
BSNL broadband Modem in working condition. I straightly unplugged the connection for sending
the same to the CFSL Kolkata for querying that when the jack of CCTV DVR was unplugged from
the said apparatus.

Dr. Hemanto Bera of Cinsurah Hospital held Post Mortem Examination and in the Post Mortem
Examination Report he has opined that Death is due to asphyxia which is anti-mortem and suicidal
in nature.

REPORT IN FINAL FORM:-

After receipt of the POST MORTERM EXAMINATION REPORT the enquiry officer will again
go to the place of occurrence and will do the enquiry in details. He will talk with the witness and
will do local enquiry. He will also know about the local reputation of that family and will come to

suicidal hanging and he consulted with the OC of the PS who after seeing the Post Mortem Report

Surajit Bose of Gharimore, Chinsurah, Hooghly, West Bengal complained that his father Mr.
Surajit Bose (H/M 67 yrs retd. Govt. Employee) S/O Lt. Kalicharan was found hanging in his own

and its investigation/ enquiry was endorsed to ASI Hemmanto Bose by the officer-in-charge of the
Police Station. I ASI Hemanto Bose rushed to the house of the deceased and visited the place of

non-continuous ligature mark was present and several marks of the suicidal hanging were found
