Kupwara: In a groundbreaking move towards embracing digital innovation, Police Station Vilgam Handwara has registered its first-ever electronic First Information Report (e-FIR) following a complaint lodged via WhatsApp. This historic step marks a significant leap in leveraging technology for faster and more efficient grievance redressal.
The complaint was filed by Imtiyaz Ahmad Dar, a local bus driver and resident of Hanjipora, Kupwara, who drives SRTC Bus No. JK01Y-1121. Early this morning, while en route from Tarathpora to Srinagar, Dar reported an unfortunate incident. Upon reaching Vilgam, he was allegedly wrongfully restrained, physically assaulted, and injured by two individuals identified as Ashiq Hussain Bhat and Gowher Ahmad Bhat, both residents of Shehnipora, Vilgam.
Demonstrating swift action, the Vilgam Handwara Police promptly registered the e-FIR under FIR No. 09/2025 U/S 115(2), 126(2) BNS. This move not only ensures timely justice for the victim but also sets a precedent for the use of digital platforms in streamlining law enforcement processes.
