Applicability of bns in extortion matters.

This pertains to extortion attempt on a senior citizen residing in Andheri Mumbai. Can he ask for registration of FIR with local police station or file private complaint in MM's Court at Andheri if police refugees? TIA

The victim has to file complaint in the area police station where cause of action arose.

Dr JC Vashishta,

Cause of action is in Mumbai only but victim is sr citizen resides in Andheri East, Mumbai whereas Extortionist are from CST, Mumbai area and CST area police is hostile and not registering any FIR though it's mandatory under BNS Act. Besides there's danger to his life.
