Police Conduct Gait Analysis To Match CCTV Footage

For practitioners: gait analysis and automated gait-matching illustrate how biometric gait features and AI-assisted comparisons are being used operationally when facial recognition is not possible. Reporting by Indian Express, India Today, CNBC-TV18 and ANI states that investigators in the Ketan Agarwal murder case plan to conduct a forensic gait analysis of accused Chetan Chaudhary and compare it with CCTV footage from Lohagad Fort. Indian Express quotes a senior police officer saying Chaudhary will be recorded walking in a similar hoodie and that "using AI tools, we will analyse the similarity". ANI and CNBC-TV18 report that police have also recreated parts of the scene with co-accused Siya Goyal and recovered items including a hoodie, headphones and the accused's two-wheeler as part of the probe (ANI). The Vadgaon Maval court remanded both accused to police custody until July 3, according to India Today and Indian Express.
