Delhi Police registers 5.5 lakh reports via mobile app

More than 5.5 lakh people have used a Delhi Police app for registering complaints for loss or theft of items like mobile phones, passports and PAN cards since its launch in February.

According to police, the ‘Delhi Police Lost Report’ app is aimed at sparing the people the trouble of physically going to the police station to get a complaint registered for such cases.

A digitally-signed document is provided to the people who use the app to register cases which can then be used to get the document reissued.  Also, nearly 8,000 Police Clearance Certificates (PCC) have been issued after a web application was launched for the service in August.
