Delhi Police launches stage II trial of Motor Vehicle Theft App

NEW DELHI: Delhi Police today launched e- filing of Motor Vehicle (MV) Theft related FIRs which will enable complainants to receive 'untraced report' in such cases in 21 days.

The Commissioner of Police BS Bassi unveiled the stage II trial of the MV Theft App at Delhi Police Headquarters, facilitating online lodging and downloading of FIRs for vehicles stolen in the national capital.

The web based App will later also be developed further to enable its use through mobile phones, he said.

"An e-Police Station has been established for lodging these electronic FIRs. The application can be accessed through computer and tablets and will later be available in the form of an App on mobile phones," he said.

A complainant can register FIR related to theft of his vehicle through this platform. He can access the MV Theft App by logging the official website of Delhi Police delhipolice.nic.in from any where without coming to a police station.

A time bound closure of undetected cases with seamless acceptance of the same by a competent Court is part of the system so that the complainant can file an insurance claim on timely receipt of the closure report in 21 days.

Delhi High Court and district courts have designated Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate-I of all the 11 districts as e-Courts to accept the Final Reports, Bassi said.

In the Stage-I trial of the App, started in April, 9280 FIRs were registered till date. A total of 6983 untraced reports were submitted to the designated e-courts and 4337 final reports have been accepted by them, he added.
