Answer:

FIR simple words is known as the (First Information Report). The procedure for filing an FIR is mentioned under Section 154 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973. You can file the FIR at any police station. You do not necessarily have to be in that area particular area where the crime has been committed. But, try to visit a nearest police station as the FIR has to be filled immediately without any delay.

Who can file an FIR? Anyone, a victim of a crime, a person who has witnessed a crime or who has information about the crime can file an FIR.

How to file a complain:

Step 1: Visit the nearest police station and describe all the details to the police whatever you know.

Step 2: You can either verbally tell the police officer about the incident, for instance, what happened? How do you know? Or, write down the details by yourself.

Step 3: If you tell the police verbally, then the duty officer must write it down and then make an entry in the General Diary or Daily Diary.

Step 4: If you submit a written complaint then you must carry two copies. One for the duty officer and the other one will be returned to you.)

Step 5: The police will go through all the details once you submit the information.

Step 6: After that, the information recorded by the police is read over to you.

Step 7: You need to sign the FIR, once the information has been recorded by the police.

Step 8: Sign the report only after verifying that the information recorded by the police is as per the details given by you.

Step 9: A free copy of FIR will be given to you with an FIR number, date of FIR and the name of the police station.

Make sure that both the copies must be stamped. The stamp on the FIR bears a DD Number or Daily Diary Number. It is a proof that they received your complaint. In case you lose your copy, you can use these details to access the FIR online for free.

FIR details cannot be changed:

Once you register an FIR, the contents of the FIR cannot be changed. On the other hand, you can give additional information to the police later on at any point.
