Delhi Police, a significant law enforcement agency responsible for safeguarding the National Capital Territory of Delhi, has administrative supervision of the Ministry of Home Affairs. Established in 1861 during the British Raj, it evolved into an integral part of the Indian Police Service following India’s independence in 1947.

Subsequent reforms, including the adoption of the Police Commissioner System in 1978, further modernized the force, enhancing its efficiency and coordination. It collaborates closely with other premier agencies like the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Intelligence Bureau (IB), and National Investigation Agency (NIA).

If your complaint isn’t addressed initially, you can escalate the matter to higher police authorities or appellate officers for further assistance. For more detailed information, refer to the instructions provided below.


How to File an e-FIR or Complaint to Delhi Police?

The Delhi Police, much like the Uttar Pradesh Police, offers an integrated system to cater to the needs of citizens in reporting incidents and seeking assistance through the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS), Delhi Police. You can register complaints or file e-FIRs for both cognizable and non-cognizable offences through the CCTNS platform.

Note it, the e-FIR facility is available only for unknown accused or Non-SR (Non-Special Report) cases. Before filing a complaint or e-FIR, know how you can interact with the force and understand the difference between complaints and FIRs.

  • Police Complaint: A complaint is an allegation, made orally or in writing by any person, accusing someone of an offence. It can be for both cognizable and non-cognizable crimes, with no prescribed format. The Magistrate may inquire, but no immediate police investigation occurs.
  • FIR (First Information Report): An FIR is initial information, orally or in writing, about cognizable offences. It can be filed by anyone in a defined format. FIRs are registered with the Officer-In-Charge for cognizable offences. Police investigate, and the Magistrate may take action based on their report, but only after the FIR is reported by the police.

Now that you know the difference between an FIR and a police complaint, in Delhi, when you make a police complaint, it can cover both cognizable and non-cognizable offences. The police officer will decide what action to take, whether it’s registering an FIR, a less serious report called NCR, or closing the case if it’s resolved.

If you have a serious case to report, contact your local police station or higher rank Police Officers. Remember, according to the citizen charter of Delhi Police, it’s important to know your rights as a citizen and protect yourself from unusual situations or police misconduct.

Grievance Redressal

Delhi Police’s Three-Tier Grievance Redressal Mechanism ensures citizens’ concerns are heard and resolved effectively. Based on the case, begins with local police station engagement and further to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), escalates to Joint Commissioners of Police (JT.
