HOW TO LODGE A COMPLAINT/FIR

As per section 154 Cr.P.C. Police is duty bound to register a cognizable offence when reported by any person. The offence can be reported:-

• By submitting in writing the details of offence either personally or through post.
• By narrating orally to officer in-charge of Police station.
• By informing through telephone.

The offence should be reported to officer in charge of a police station as far as possible but can be reported to MHC. If these officials refuse to register an offence a person can approach Supervisory Officer of police station or Supdt. of Police of the district rural.
