A special team is mobilised immediately upon receiving information about any crime. This team is assembled at the station preceding the one where the crime occurred and proceeds to the scene while conducting patrols.
During this process, any suspicious individuals encountered are questioned.
If a passenger is involved, GRP staff board the train at the next station, visit the specific coach, and register an FIR for the incident right on board.
Under this new system, the recovery rate for crimes like theft, which previously averaged around 5%, has risen to over 20%.

Additionally, follow-ups are being conducted for FIRs registered with the GRP. Every station in-charge (TI) has been tasked with calling crime victims to verify the facts regarding cases registered at their respective stations; this ensures that incorrect information is not provided by lower-level GRP staff.
Furthermore, the GRP has instructed all stations to register FIRs for crimes occurring during travel as "Zero FIRs" at the station where the journey concludes, and then forward the case diary to the relevant station.
This prevents victims from having to interrupt their journey or travel to the specific station where the crime occurred.
Common incidents on trains include the theft of mobile phones, wallets, bags, and jewellery, as well as drugging and robbery. The GRP has also compiled dossiers on habitual railway offenders, which has accelerated the pace of solving crimes.

Railway crimes are difficult to crack
Compared to ordinary crimes, tracing the accused and recovering stolen property in railway-related crimes is difficult because the perpetrators often move far away from the scene of the crime.
To address this, a QIRT system has been implemented, leading to increased recovery rates in the Bhopal and Jabalpur units; instructions have been issued to boost this performance in Indore as well.
