The International Criminal Police Organisation had hosted the general assembly, where representatives of all member countries converge, in India in 1997.
Rishi Kumar Shukla, the director of the CBI that represents Interpol in India as the country’s national central bureau, moved the proposal on Friday in the ongoing 88th general assembly in Santiago, Chile, following which it was put to vote.
Interpol is an international organization with 194 member states and 100 years of experience of international cooperation in Policing. Interpol’s 17 databases house 90 million records.
