About e-FIR Service

Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghvi on Friday said, "It is totally unacceptable in this age of technology that a simple mobile phone gets stolen and a person has to leave work and rush to the police station for the whole day. Then, to remove such difficulties faced by the people in normal cases, under the guidance of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, an initiative has been taken to make all the important services of Gujarat Police online", news agency ANI reported.

According to the Minister of State for Home, within 48 hours of registering the e-FIR, the police will contact the complainant directly and visit the scene of vehicle theft/mobile phone theft and complete the investigation within 21 days and send a report to the court. 

The complainant will also be informed about the registration of this online complaint and the progress made in the investigation through Email/SMS. At the same time, the insurance company will also be informed by the police through email/SMS so that it will help the plaintiff to get his insurance claim easily. 

He added that the e-FIR service has been coordinated with the Gujarat State Police CCTV Command and Control. After the e-FIR will be registered, if the vehicle passes through the road, the vehicle number will be immediately flashed at the CCTV command and control and through which the crime of theft can be detected immediately. 

The Minister recalled the Gujarat Government launched the Citizen First Mobile App, Citizen Portal in 2019 to enable the citizens of the state to get some police services online using the e-Gujcop database. Through that, citizens of the state of Gujarat are able to access a total of 16 police services at home wherein Senior Citizen Registration, Tenant Registration, Household Registration, Missing Property Registration, Missing Person Registration, "Police NOC" etc. services are available.
