- 4. Lost or stolen. I believe the article was lost and not stolen.

LEGAL BASIS
Punjab: A report of a lost article is a record kept at the police station within whose area the article was lost. It alleges no offence and is not a first information report; if the article was stolen, the police are told so and treat the matter as a complaint of theft instead. Offices that issue duplicates, such as a passport office or a licensing authority, commonly ask for the police report, but each decides for itself what it requires.
Chandigarh: The same applies in the Union Territory: the report is made at the police station in whose area the article was lost, alleges no offence, and is not a first information report. The office issuing the duplicate decides what it requires.
PERSONAL DATA NOTICE
This notice is given under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
The purpose of collecting the personal data in this document is to identify the reporter and the lost article, and to record the loss, so that the police can enter the report and the reporter can obtain a duplicate or block the article.
