IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED?
Follow these protocols to ensure safety and legal compliance during a crisis.
01
Secure
Exit the immediate danger zone. Find a public space or a police beat box.
02
Document
Note vehicle numbers, physical descriptions, and save digital screenshots/logs.
03
Report
Dial 112. Do not wait. The first 60 minutes are critical for evidence collection.
THE FIR PROCESS (FIRST INFORMATION REPORT)
1. Right to Register
The police MUST register an FIR for cognizable offenses. If they refuse, you can send the substance of the info to the Superintendent of Police (SP).
2. Zero FIR Awareness
If the crime happened elsewhere, the current station must still file a 'Zero FIR' and transfer it later.
3. Review and Sign
Read the report carefully. Ensure the police have recorded exactly what you said. You are entitled to a FREE copy.
