- Indian police created the first-ever complaints web portal on Polygon blockchain.
- All FIR and complaints will be corrupt-free and immutable.
After introducing a new police complaint system that utilizes blockchain technology to avoid corruption, the Indian Police has built the country’s first complaints web portal on the Polygon blockchain. The portal allows the general public to file the “first information report” (FIR) and track it in real-time.
According to the tweet from Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal on Wednesday, the Firozabad police in Uttar Pradesh has begun using the Polygon blockchain protocol to tackle local police corruption and crimes. The initiative was taken by famed IPS officer Ashish Tiwari, a visionary leader in Indian Police Service.

This is very close to my heart. We grow up hearing about so many of such cases wherein due to some corruption in a local police department, victims(mostly of rapes) are not even able to register complaint or…1/2 https://t.co/k9gRMD6r08
How the Indian Police Blockchain Complaint Portal Works
Blockchain technology is continuously breaking new ground and this Initiative may be a game-changer in securing the right to justice. The FIR being placed on the blockchain means that reports cannot be altered or denied by lower-level police, as per Nailwal. People will benefit from the transparency and immutability of filed reports.
And the new portal will be accessed via “policecomplaintonblockchain.in,” as stated by the Firozabad police. Users only need to visit the website, register their data, and submit a complaint. Immediately they will receive an automatically generated token number, which they may use to check on the status of their complaint at any time.
At the time of writing, Polygon (MATIC), traded at $0.737789 with a trading volume of $285,591,441. MATIC is down 7.40% in the last 24 hours and had a market cap of $6,444,086,226, as per CMC.
