Many years ago when I renewed my passport in Mumbai - I had received a post card and had to take that to police station for my verification. Its news to me now that police come home to verify.
Police coming to houses to verify has been going on in various parts of India for decades. While it isn't a common experience, there is enough of it that I've seen it done while at some homes in India.
