Delhi Police’s use of facial recognition technology at a student protest has raised serious questions after people identified by the system as being present at Jantar Mantar were found to have been in jail at the same time. During the protest against the NEET paper leak, Delhi Police claimed that its facial recognition system identified 2,873 people with criminal records. But an investigation found that at least 25 of those identified were actually behind bars when the system placed them at the protest. The case has raised questions over the accuracy and reliability of facial recognition technology, especially when its results are used in police investigations. Delhi Police says the system is only used to generate leads and that human verification is required before legal action. But the identification of people who were in jail has raised concerns over wrongful identification, surveillance at peaceful protests, transparency, accountability and the potential impact of such technology
