According to my knowledge, the responsibility and violation were of those officials that provided such personal information held by them in a fiduciary capacity and we can not hold a third party responsible for getting that personal information. However, as the information seeker is a public servant and used his personal capacity by misusing his official position, a complaint can be lodged to the Inspector General of Police or online grievance portal.

Why a police constable shall collect information which are irrelevant for him / her? Unbelievable.
However, if someone has taken your (not someone else) personal information unautorisedly and illegally and you came to know that so and so has taken your information, file a complaint to area SHO, DCP / SSP.
If no action is taken by the police file a complaint to area Magistrate through a local prudent lawyer.
