yes in mahrashtra you cna lodge police complaints online
log on to http://maharashtra.gov.in and upload your complaint along with your mobile number. Soon after, you will receive a quick reply and an e-complaint number will be sent to your mobile for future reference to your complaint. Maps of each and every police station will be provided for the complainant to find out under which jurisdiction is he or she to lodge the e-complaint.
But if you think that e-complaint is the same as filing an FIR (First Information Report), then it is not so. After you file the e-complaint, the concerned police station will fix an appointment with you, so that you may visit the police station in person to lodge a formal FIR.
According to Rajkumar Vhatkar, deputy commissioner police (Operations), "The best part of this e-complaint facility is that every e-complaint will have accountability. As the complaint progresses, the complainant will be informed at each and every stage." The progress of the case will also be updated online.
