Passport police verification pending
Your passport application is held because the police verification has not been done; check the file number and visit the police station.

Check the passport file status, then visit your police station with the file number to complete the verification.
Who is responsible
Passport applications in India are verified by the police station of the applicant's residence, and the file waits at that station until the verification is entered. Where the file has waited long, visiting the station with the file number moves it, because the station can complete the verification on the spot or state what is missing.
