Actions needed on loosing the bike

Generally in such theft cases, the police receives the complaint and gives an acknowledgement but does not files a FIR, the standard procedure is to investigate the matter and then issue a FIR to the complainant but because of official apathy the sub-ordinate officers try to woo the complainant not to insist on FIR. In case the S.I is refusing to register the case approach the SHO and in case he too does not co-operates then approach the ACP and still no action comes forward then approach the commissioner.

Regarding the last part of your query, you cannot stop the thief from misusing the vehicle, however, I suggest you give a public notice informing the theft of the vehicle and at the same time inform the local RTO with all the details of the vehicle such as Engine and Chasis Nos' Make & Model, etc... However, I doubt whether the Insurance Company will accept your claim without the FIR.

Hello,

 Mr.Mallikarjun G.

Mr. Vishal has suggested u absolutely right procedure but i am sure for u it will be very strange.

Practically u just give details of ur bike to the Police station in a written complaint as mentioned by you and copy be given to the commissioner either directly of u can do it through post and after 4-5 days if no action has been taken by the police you can file complaint /application under section 156(3) Cr.P. C. for registration of FIR in the court through an Advocate .

Hello Mr. Vishal,

Thank you for your valuable information. I have 3rd party insurance so I can not claim. Now whatever I wrote on the paper and got it signed and stamped at police station, should I consider it as a compliant registration? Or is there any more I need to do? They retained the original copy and they gave me a xerox copy of what I wrote with sign and stamped. Will this be enough as part of compliant registration? Also in that paper I am asked to write following sentences

a) "NO criminal case is to be registered as I am not eligible for insurance claims"

b) "If you find the bike please return it to me"

If you consider this as a compliant registration, is it ok if I go after a week to police station to find out the status and about the FIR? Or as I wrote point (a), do they tell me that they will not give FIR?

Also it would be great if you could suggest me with public notice procedure like wordings, news paper etc...

Regards,

Mallikarjun G.

Hello Mr. Jatin,

Thank you for the valuable information. Can I post a copy of what I got from police station to commissioner office? What is the address?

Regards,

Mallikarjun G.

The police cannot dictate use of such words that  "NO criminal case is to be registered as I am not eligible for insurance claims", I think its height of policing, it only reitrates what I said that they are apathetic to public grievances, as suggested earlier approach the higher authorities for action.

Without an FIR you cannot claim the bike even if it is recovered later. Police is trying to fool you and the copy of complaint they signed have no value. But you can use it to complain against them to superior officials.

You can give the same complaint to the police station itself and insist for a receipt in prescribed form with signature and stamp of SHO. Also demand for the copy of FIR.

If this does not succeed approach Supdt. of Police/ Commissioner of Police of the police district for registration of FIR.
