Police register first e-FIR in Kulgam (RPT)

Srinagar, Mar 16 (UNI) In a step towards digital policing, Police Station Qazigund in Jammu Kashmir’s Kulgam district has registered its first electronic First Information Report (e-FIR).
Police said the e-FIR was registered following a complaint lodged via WhatsApp on March 16, 2025.
Police said the complaint was filed by Bashir Ahmad Khanday, wherein he stated that on March 12, 2025, one unknown person after monitoring his transition activity within ATM at Chowgam quickly took out my ATM card and exchanged it tactfully.
“After that, I received messages of a deduction of an amount of Rs 22,000/- from my bank account. The complainant requested for legal action against the said unknown person and for recovery of his stolen money,” police said.
“After examining the complaint, the Police took cognizance of the matter and registered an e-FIR under section 303, 318 BNS at Police Station Qazigund”, police said adding “The investigation of the case has been initiated”.
Pertinently, to strengthen public safety and justice, the government has introduced new criminal laws that enable citizens to register First Information Reports (FIRs) through social media platforms as this innovative initiative aims to make the process of reporting crimes more accessible, efficient, and citizen-friendly.
