All electronic evidence, including secret recordings of phone calls, gathered by the police will also be proof. Proceeding­s can be held in camera, away from the public eye. The names of the witnesses can be kept secret. Special courts will be set up for speedy trials. If an accused commits a crime while on bail, he will not be able to apply for bail after that. Police can seek remand of the accused again even while he is in jail or judicial custody. A crime in which more than two persons are involved would be considered fit for PCOCA.
