Ali quickly grabbed his laptop and navigated to the Punjab Police's official website. He clicked on the "FIR Check" tab and entered his CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) number and a verification code.

The officer also provided Ali with some valuable advice: "Always verify information through official channels, and never hesitate to report suspicious activity."

Feeling anxious and unsure about what to do, Ali decided to verify the information. He remembered reading about the Punjab Police's online FIR checking system, which allowed citizens to check if an FIR had been registered against them.
