The Government Railway Police (IAST: Sarkārī Relve Pulis), abbreviated as GRP, is the police force that is responsible for policing on the 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 Railway Protection Force (RPF) comes under Ministry of Railways, Government of India, GRP comes under the respective state police or UT 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.
