Online FIR filing

Y can't we have online FIR filing system in India for petty crimes like pickpocetting/loss of purse etc?
Even today if we lose a purse, we have to feed 100-200 rs to file and FIR and we need the FIR for even getting a sim blocked. So y not simplify the system for public's benifit. In case a person needs the FIR for blocking of sim and other related activites he/she can file it online. In addition to this, we can have the regular filing as well.
For this one needs to have a valid ID card. For this, it is required that all the govt bodies issuing such ID cards (viz driving license, PAN card, ration cards, Passport number, Visa number etc) needs to be integrated online so that one can choose the issuing body and the ID card from the govt body's database directly. It will require a lot of database to be put in place.
