Sir,
I have given against a person under Prevention of Atrocities Act through National Police Portal.
a. Whether Police enquire after filing FIR? or Police will do enquiry before filing FIR?
b. Who is the authority to enquire the case? Whether the officer below the rank of DSP ? or Inspector of Police?
Please suggest.

The police can take action based on online complaints.
When an online complaint is received, the police authorities will review the details and assess the nature of the complaint.
If the complaint relates to a cognizable offense (where police have the power to arrest without warrant), the police may register an FIR and begin an investigation. For non-cognizable offenses (where the police need a warrant from a court), they may record the complaint in the General Diary.
