The Complaint must be presented to a Police Officer with a view to his taking action under the Criminal Procedure Code. A complaint need not necessarily be made by the person aggrieved but may be made by any person aware of the offence.
For giving a complaint against the person who is doing such illegal acts, it is important to know how to make a police complaint as it is a crucial step in seeking justice for a crime or wrongdoing.
Before making a police complaint, it is essential to identify the offence that has been committed. This should be a criminal offence such as theft, assault, or murder, or other offenses against property such as fraud or criminal breach of trust. It is important to have a clear understanding of the offence so that the complaint can be framed accordingly.
Once the offence has been identified, it is important to gather evidence to support the complaint. This could include witness statements, photographs, videos, call recordings, chats or any other relevant documents. The evidence should be collected in a systematic and organized manner to make it easier to present to the police.
The next step is to approach the police station that has jurisdiction over the area where the offence was committed. It is important to remember that only the police station with jurisdiction over the area where the offence occurred can register a complaint.
The police officer in charge of the police station is duty-bound to register the complaint and provide the complainant with an acknowledgement receipt.
If the police find that a cognizable offence has been committed, they will file a First Information Report (FIR). A cognizable offence is an offence where the police can arrest the accused without a warrant. The FIR will contain details of the offence, the name of the accused, and the names of the witnesses.
