According to a highly placed police sources, Rab will do the job without any help from police. Our own intelligence will collect data and prepare the profiles containing photos, addresses, number and nature of crimes and background of criminals, they said.

The profiles will also contain data on their wealth and property, sources of income and name of their godfathers.

Strict secrecy is being maintained in preparing the profiles correctly by Rab intelligence branch. Once complete, the elite force will swing into action against criminals.

The source further said criminals using cell phones will be tracked down by tapping their phones and using other sophisticated digital equipment. This will definitely help Rab arrest wanted criminals quickly, they hoped.

Previous criminal records (PCR) of wanted persons kept in computer network will help the Rab in containing murders and subversive activities.

Other metropolitan cities are also being brought under this new plan by Rab with the help of its intelligence units. Outdated techniques being applied by law enforcers are absolutely ineffective as hardened criminals are availing the opportunity of modern technology including cell phone and internet to commit crimes, the RAB source said.
