Seeking for urgent advice

If your friend has filed a formal complaint invoking Section 406 IPC (criminal breach of trust), as the alleged crime is a cognizable offense u/Schedule I Cr PC, the police are bound to provide you a copy of the FIR, per Supreme Court ruling in Lalita Kumari vs. St. Government of Uttar Pradesh & Ors. (WP Cr. 68/2008). As the concept of 'Zero FIR" is not alien to Indian law, the PS where original FIR was lodged must transfer it to the PS which has the jurisdiction to entertain it. You need not visit the PS out of town. Once the FIR is transferred to your local PS, it would be treated as if it was originally lodged there.

Although the local cops may require you to attend the police station to appear & answer questions, it is suggested that you contact a local lawyer to take up your case. It is also advisable that your lawyer attends the PS with you, so that you can avoid any complications that may arise in the PS.

If there is anything else I may be able to help you with, please don't hesitate to revert at: basu_kunal@hotmail.com

Warm regards
