Only letter to Police is not F.I.R. (English)

Описание: Normally letter is given to the local police and the letter duly acknowledged by the police is considered to be F.I.R. In local parlance by general public. The general public does not have any idea about F.I.R. Since they visit a police station only once in a while or lifetime to have unique police experience. The local police tries to keep crime graph low by not lodging proper F.I.R. It may be noted that F.I.R. Is a legal document and is acceptable in the eyes of law in court, insurance company etc. The crime as mentioned in the F.I.R. Has to be reported to the higher ups in the police and then finally finds its way to government records. One copy of F.I.R. Is sent by the police to the D.C.P. / Magistrate, second copy to the records. Only a photocopy is given to the complainant by the sub-inspector who has registered the F.I.R.

It is written outside every police station that lodging of F.I.R. And obtaining copy of the same is right of every citizen. How ever, the local police in criminal cases like theft, burglary, infidelity, financial claims involving banks, companies does make good efforts to avoid lodging of F.I.R. Till they find no other way but to lodge proper F.I.R. U/s 154 of cr.p.c.
