The Government Railway Police, abbreviated as GRP or simply Railway Police, is the force responsible for policing railway stations and trains of Indian Railways. Its duties correspond to those of the District Police in the areas under their jurisdiction, such as patrolling, but only on railway property. While the Railway Protection Force (RPF) comes under the Ministry of Railways, Government of India, GRP comes under the respective state or union territory police. The GRP's responsibility is to observe law and order on all railway property, while RPF is mainly responsible for protecting and securing all railway property. Currently, even if a crime is detected by the RPF, the case has to be handed over to the GRP for further enquiry.
