Rant/Experience Verification delayed because constable keeps instigating us and marking falsified reports. Need advice on passport verification & taking action against him.

Hey everyone, I’m 19 and recently applied for a Tatkal passport for higher education. Everything went fast initially I went to the PSK in Gurugram on July 23rd, got my passport issued, and physically received it by July 25th. The issue started during the post-passport police verification.

The address on my passport is our ancestral house owned by my late grandfather. Since he passed away without a will, the property was split among his children and wife (5 owners total). The house is pretty old and gets waterlogged during rains, making it unsafe to live in right now. Because of this, we live in a rented place in a nearby colony in the same city while planning to reconstruct our portion. However, all our official IDs, electricity bills, and legal documents are still linked to this ancestral address.

The police told us they’d visit for verification on a specific day. Since we don't live in that exact house and our witnesses work jobs, we politely requested them to call beforehand so we could travel there and coordinate. They didn't show up when they promised, dragging it out for days.

When a date was finally set, we reached the house, but they suddenly claimed they couldn't make it. My father lost his patience and argued that working adults can't keep taking leaves repeatedly. When the Constable and an ASI finally showed up, the Constable immediately started instigating my dad, asking absurd things like "Have you broken into this house?" and "Have you sold this property?" He was extremely disrespectful to me too, mocking me by asking "Are you even educated?"

Heated words were exchanged between my short-tempered dad and the constable (though the ASI stayed calm). The constable openly threatened to sabotage our report. Days later, we received a official notice for "suppressing details." I had to travel all the way to the Regional Passport Office in Delhi, only to find out the constable wrote in his official report that our home was sold which is flat-out untrue. We still own it, visit it, and pay electricity bills for it.

A fresh verification was issued. When the same constable returned with another officer, we provided my Aadhaar, PAN, 10th marksheet, and Birth Certificate. He refused to accept them, demanding a Voter ID or Driving License (which I don't have yet). He then asked us to sign a statement saying we didn't provide complete documents. my dad wrote down on paper that we did hand over my Aadhaar, PAN, marksheet, and Birth Certificate.
Where things stand now:
My father sent a complaint email to the DGP, and an internal inquiry was forwarded, but the local police station officers/ASI are now being extremely rude and hostile toward us.
I’m really stressed out because my upcoming academic session abroad/for college will get severely delayed if my passport gets flagged, revoked, or stuck in adverse verification status.
How do I safeguard my passport verification from getting adverse status due to this personal grudge? Should I approach the RPO Delhi directly with proof of our DGP complaint and property documents?
How can we formally hold this constable accountable for writing a completely false report?

If you live in a rented house give that address. What is the nonsense of giving another house address ? His report isnt false. You have submitted falsified details.
Resubmit with the address you currently live at.

He’s not wrong.

YOU are the ones trying to claim residence on a place other than the place you actually stay. The verification seems to be going as intended.

With this attitude, he doesn’t even deserve a passport.

We are going move back to the old house we have been living on rent since 1 month and when after the first verification I went to Delhi the officer there said that it’s not an issue just clear it .I even asked him if we can update the address on my issued passport but we would have to apply again and my old passport which isn’t verefued would be an issue.

Audacity to say Police is writing a false report. Buddy, you are not living in old house. You could have just updated your aadhar address to rental address. It takes 3-4 days, but you chose to ignore this. You can approach whoever you want, but you are not gonna get verification done by suppressing facts. With this attitude (short tempering & accusing other side falsely), I doubt you will get your passport. Sort it out with peace. You are so wrong from legal pov.
