The Bhopal police have added a new feature to its existing mobile app — 'citizen cop'. In case you have lost any document, you can go to the 'report lost article' feature to fill a form and provide your photograph. You will get a receipt which will bear the monogram of Bhopal police and the additional SP's name below it.

After taking a printout, you just need to apply to the particular department or agency and request for issuing the duplicate document.

Whether it's your ATM card, passport, PAN card, driving licence, SIM card or any other document, you won't have to deal with the personnel at the police station to register your FIR or sign on your complaint. The copy of receipt will go to your email too. Hence, it will be safe and there won't be a risk of you losing it.
