One of my relatives, who is a woman, made a complaint to Police against a doctor for manipulation and connivance and made a request to treat the Complaint as an FIR against the doctor. The Police officer called the complainant, who is a women , over telephone and recorded her statement in the police station.
1. Is action of the police officer calling a woman over telephone verbally i.e. without notice and that too in the Police Station is justified in view of section 160(1) providing that such order should be “in writing” and “no woman shall be required to attend at any place other than the place in which such woman resides”
2. If it is not justified, what action can be taken against that Police Officer.
