Online First Information Report(FIR)
For the benefit of people reading my blog, I want to clarify that I am not here to criticize any country. I started this blog to provide you all guys a platform to speak about something which is not correct and ethical. Today I bring a problem which is worldwide and really pathetic in India.
What is an FIR?
First Information Report (FIR) is a written document prepared by the police when they receive information about the commission of a cognizable offence. It is a report of information that reaches the police first in point of time and that is why it is called the First Information Report. It is generally a complaint lodged with the police by the victim of a cognizable offence or by someone on his/her behalf. Anyone can report the commission of a cognizable offence either orally or in writing to the police. Even a telephonic message
No body likes to go to Police Station for registering their FIR’s just because of the way these people behave. Now don’t you again think that I am cribbing. I am not cribbing there is always a chance of improvement. Many times people don’t go to Police Stations to register an FIR because they are scared. They are scared of being a victim again. These Policemen ask thousands of questions that you don’t even want to go to that place again and the way they talk. I think you know it better. Just go back to the point where you had to stand outside the room in a Police Station while the Hawaldaar (Constable) who is suppose to log the FIR was busy eating or talking. And it hurts more when you know that you are there report just a small purse or your education documents.
What about the ladies, no girl would even thinks about going to Police Station alone. Why ? Are they not safe in Police Stations. Why are people scared of the Police in India. Just because they can do anything and everything which is not ethical makes them do anything.
So my solution to this problem is that Indian Intelligence provides a transparency to citizens like us. We should be able to log an FIR online and then the police should get in touch with us for further information. I don’t know what is there in our government’s eGovernence project. I’ve heard a lot about it. Lets see what happens. It might just give us what I am suggesting.
