In a step towards digital policing, Police Station Khrew in Awantipora sub-district has registered its first electronic First Information Report (e-FIR).
Police said the e-FIR was registered following a complaint lodged via electronic mail.
The complaint was filed by Mushtaq Ahmed Bhat, a resident of New Colony Khrew, against Adil Ahmad Bhat and Bilal Ahmad Bhat, both residents of New Colony Khrew.
The complainant alleged them about assaulting his whole family, causing injury to them.
"The complainant supported the complaint with an OPD ticket from PHC Khrew and a copy of the Aadhaar card as evidential proof," police said.
Upon examining the complaint, cognisance was taken by registering an e-FIR, covered under Case FIR No. 17/2025, under the relevant sections of the BNS in Police Station Khrew, police said.
Four days ago, J&K Police had registered its first-ever e-FIR following a complaint lodged via WhatsApp in Handwara.
