According to the Minister of State for Home, the e-FIR after being registered, within 48 hours the police will contact the person who filed the complaint directly. The cops shall then visit the scene of vehicle/ mobile phone theft and it will be seen that the investigation and report to the court is finished within 21 days.
While this happens, the complainant will be kept in loop about the registration of the online complaint. He/ She will be updated about the progress made in the investigation through Email/ SMS. Meanwhile, 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 also added that the e-FIR service is in tandem with the Gujarat State Police. It means after the e-FIR is registered, the vehicle will be immediately recognized if it passes through the road. Hence, crime of theft can be detected immediately.
