For women-related complaints, use the relevant district police/women help channel.
District police websites publish women's helplines and complaint facilities. -
Keep the acknowledgement or unique ID.
Save any complaint UID, reference number, receipt or acknowledgement for follow-up.
Punjab Police NRI Wing
Current Punjab Police district information lists the NRI Wing, Punjab Police at Phase 7, SAS Nagar, with dedicated NRI assistance and NRI Police Stations/officials for handling NRI-related matters. Because contact information can change, verify the latest details on the official Punjab Police or district police website before relying on a number or email address.

Women's Complaints and Emergency Assistance
Punjab Police district websites provide women-specific assistance and complaint channels. For urgent danger or a crime in progress, use the emergency service instead of waiting for an online grievance to be processed.
FIR Registration Under BNSS 2023
An online complaint, grievance, petition or Saanjh acknowledgement should not be described as an FIR unless the police have actually registered an FIR. Punjab Police's own Saanjh materials distinguish between complaints, DDRs and FIRs and provide unique IDs for complaint follow-up.
