In a lively and engaging online session, Pimpri-Chinchwad Police Commissioner Vinoy Kumar Choubey took to X (formerly Twitter) to interact with citizens, addressing key concerns ranging from AI-generated FIRs to noise pollution and police welfare. The Virtual Town Hall Meeting 2.0, part of the #VirtualTownhall_2 initiative, saw the top cop responding with a mix of wit, transparency, and actionable solutions.
AI-Generated FIRs? “Our Officers Still Have Jobs,” Says CP
One user humorously asked whether artificial intelligence (AI)—which already generates artwork, music, and poetry—could soon produce First Information Reports (FIRs).
Commissioner Choubey responded with a clever quip:
“Interesting idea. But until AI learns how to listen to both sides of the story and read between the lines, I think our officers still have their jobs intact.” 😊
The reply not only showcased his lighthearted approach but also reinforced the human judgment required in policing.
“Nothing Beats Good Old Chai” – CP on Police Station Working Hours
When questioned about whether Pimpri-Chinchwad police stations are designed for long shifts or if officers rely on “chai and patience”, the Commissioner acknowledged the challenges while appreciating public concern:
“Nothing beats the good old chai when it comes to enduring long working hours… But happy to see concern about our personnel, a topic not oft-raised.”
He further revealed ongoing efforts to improve workplace facilities, including:
- Gyms in police stations
- Creche facilities
- Dedicated women’s rooms
- In-house central dispensary at the commissionerate
Noise Pollution & Late-Night Celebrations? “Dial 112”
Addressing complaints about late-night birthday parties and noise pollution, CP Choubey urged citizens to use the emergency number “112”:
“Dial 112 is a single-point emergency response number. We have been setting better processes to reduce the average response time consistently.”
Migrant Labor Law & Order: Mandatory Police Verification
On concerns about law and order issues involving migrant laborers, the Commissioner highlighted proactive measures:
- Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) mandates police verification for workers and tenants.
- Awareness programs for industries and landlords to ensure compliance.
Zero Tolerance for Corruption: Report Bribery Anonymously
Reiterating a strict stance on corruption, Choubey stated:
“Pimpri-Chinchwad police have zero tolerance for corruption at any level. If anybody has sought money for passport/clearance processing, report at 8087705112. Anonymity ensured.”
Tech-Based Traffic Violation Reporting Coming Soon
For issues like blurred number plates, tinted glasses, and other traffic violations, the Commissioner announced:
“We are shortly providing a tech-backed platform for citizens to report violations. Launch date will be shared soon.”

Highlighting enforcement efforts, Choubey shared:
- 4,154 drivers were penalized for drunk driving in 2024.
