A controversial video showing a tragic incident has propelled Nagpur Police into action, utilizing cutting-edge technology to bring justice. A week after Amit Yadav was seen transporting his deceased wife on a motorcycle, authorities identified Satyapal Rajendra as the hit-and-run driver, thanks to an advanced artificial intelligence system.

The video sparked outrage, capturing the aftermath of a tragic accident on August 9, when a speeding truck collided with Amit Yadav's motorcycle on the Nagpur-Jabalpur highway. Despite Yadav's pleas for help, no motorists stopped, forcing him to transport his wife's body himself.

Using AI-MARVEL, Nagpur Police combed through CCTV footage to crack the case. The technology, designed for crime prevention and investigation, led to the arrest of truck driver Satyapal Rajendra and impounding of the vehicle. The incident underscores both the promise of AI in law enforcement and societal indifference in emergencies.
