Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the two-day Anti-Terrorism Conference 2025 organised by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in New Delhi on December 26, 2025. The conference, attended by senior officials from state police forces, intelligence agencies, and central investigative bodies, focused on strengthening India's counter-terrorism and anti-organised-crime ecosystem. Shah launched two landmark databases at the conference: (1) the Organised Crime Network Database (OCND) — India's first national-level, AI-powered centralised platform to track criminal syndicates and their links to terror networks. Developed by NIA in collaboration with state police and NATGRID, the OCND integrates FIRs, charge sheets, and intelligence dossiers from all states into a real-time repository accessible to investigating officers. (2) the NIA Weapons Database for lost, looted, and recovered arms — enabling tracking of weapons that fuel crime and terrorism across India. Shah also unveiled an updated NIA Crime Manual and called for a '360-degree assault on organised crime', declaring these databases a 'core asset of the zero-terror policy'. He stressed that organised crime and terrorism are increasingly interlinked — with criminal networks providing funding, logistics, and cover for terror operations. The OCND is seen as a major step towards a unified national security grid, enabling pattern recognition, predictive policing, and real-time inter-agency coordination.
