Appearance of witness in police station

X is a witness in FIR. But she lives in Bangalore about 800 km away from the local police station which has requested FIR.

X suffers from an illness.

X's doctor has advised her against traveling long distance.

Can police visit her instead to record her version, statement etc if she produces her doctor's note along with a request letter?

First, make such an application and let them consider the request and then decide as per their response.  If the matter is in court and you are a witness in court, then they may consider appointing an Advocate Commissioner.

Facts posted suggest that the matter is still at the investigation stage. If so, the police can meet the witness at the residence and record his/her statement.
