"Common people will be able to post their complaints, requests or information related to cyber crimes, narcotics supply, distribution or usage, circulation or printing of counterfeit currency notes, harassment of a woman by her husband or relatives of her husband, cheating and frauds, violation of civil rights, atrocities against SCs and STs, human trafficking matters including prostitution, information about dacoits or robbers, complaints regarding deficiencies in police investigation if any, and information about wanted offenders or those involved in criminal cases," he said.
According to Ramana Murthy, after a complaint is registered, the CID officer concerned would reply to the complaint electronically within three working days, addressing the issue. The reply will directly go to the complainant on his or her given e-mail ID, he said. (INN)
