Police not filing FIR on theft of two-wheeler
6 years ago
Recently, one of my friends lost his two-wheeler which was parked in front of his house. When he went to the police station to lodge a complaint, the police only received the complaint but refused to file an FIR. They are saying that they would call him on his mobile as soon as they detect the case. What he must do to make them register an FIR.
