Here's how you can file a GD online with Bangladesh Police

From now on, anyone sitting at home can file a General Diary (GD) online, without having to go to a police station physically. 

On Tuesday, June 21, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the program, titled 'Online GD', by joining virtually from Ganobhaban at a function held at the Rajarbagh Police Auditorium.

According to reports, the software for the online GD program, which is aimed at the modernization of the police, is integrated with the CDMS ++ software through API. The CDMS software was developed in 2011 and is currently being used to centrally store digital records of FIRs and related information filed in all police stations in Bangladesh.

Users can download the Online GD app from the Google Play Store or visit gd.police.gov.bd.

Users can register with their details and National Identity (NID) cards. Once a GD is filed, users will get unique QR codes which can be used to collect digital or printed versions of the GD for future uses. 

How to file a GD online

Step 1:

Click on Registration> Enter your National Identity Card Number> Enter your current address> Take your live photo> Enter your mobile (later your username) and email (if any) and provide a password.

To confirm your identity, a code (OTP) will be sent via SMS to your given mobile number.

Enter the code (OTP) correctly.

On the login page, click on login with your mobile number and password provided in the user's phone.
