Mangaluru police tops in e-filing initiative
Mangaluru: The Mangaluru city police commissionerate has achieved the top slot among the entire police department in Karnataka in terms of the e-filing system.
The state police department had introduced the e- filing system in July last year.
Soon after, the central criminal investigation department and other offices had begun to follow the system.
The city commissionerate implemented the system from October last year and within a few months, it has surpassed other police offices and annexed the top slot, city police Commissioner P S Harsha said.
He said that the entire process from registration to dispatch is completed in six to seven hours, and the files are being disposed of the same day, making it very convenient for the general public.
At the beginning of June, the police commissionerate has e-filed 42,803 files and e-receipts have been prepared for 46,162 files.
No other offices of police commissionerate, the office of the inspector general of police or superintendent of police have achieved this feat.
The Bengaluru criminal investigation department, which began the e-filing system very fast, is in the second spot now with e-filing of 20,550 files and 16,656 e-receipts.
Among the offices of the superintendents of police (SP), Mandya district is ahead of others where 14,311 files have been e-fled and e-receipts have been prepared for 6,364 files.
Dakshina Kannada SP office with 10,713 e-filing and 6,215 e-receipts, is in the second spot.
"In the police Commissionerate here, except the city special branch division, all other divisions have been covered under the e-filing system. The office is mostly paperless. The city special branch has not been fully brought under governance to maintain confidentiality. To ensure swift response by using information technology to the fullest, police staff were sent to various places for training. In the next phase, the commissionerate plans to bring the offices of the assistant commissioners of police under e- filing" Harsha said.

Argument over bike accident leads to murder, triggers mob violence, arson in Ahmedabad; 2 held
Ahmedabad (PTI): A man was killed in a violent altercation triggered by a motorcycle accident in Dhandhuka in Gujarat's Ahmedabad district on Saturday, after which several shops were set on fire, a police official said.
Two men from different communities clashed this afternoon after their motorcycles collided, which intensified when members of one group went to the house of the other individual involved in the accident, he said.
"During the confrontation, Dharmesh Gamara (30) was stabbed in the leg with a knife. He later died due to excessive bleeding. Following his death, tensions flared, and a group of people set ablaze seven to eight roadside shops. Several properties were damaged," Ahmedabad Rural Superintendent of Police Om Prakash Jat said.
Videos circulating on social media showed small shops engulfed in flames, with thick black smoke rising in the area.
Police and fire brigade teams rushed to the scene and brought the situation under control, Jat told PTI.
"The fires have been doused," he said, adding that house-to-house combing and patrolling were underway in the area to identify those involved in the arson.
Two persons identified as Samir and Rizwan have been arrested for alleged involvement in the killing of Gamara, while 15-20 persons have been detained in connection with the arson, police said.
