This query is : Resolved
I have filed complaint to police for sexually harassment, molestation and outrage modesty of woman against accused but even after one month police did not register FIR. Now the police telephonically called me after one month to come to police station and they shall visit the spot of incident where the accused resides within the complex. I requested the police to first lodge FIR take my statement but they refused. I fear threat to my life as the accused person is very influence and have strong links. My query is that why can't police first lodge the FIR take statement and investigate the matter.

When you inform the police the ingredients of a cognisable crime, they have legal duty to register an FIR. They cannot start an investigation without lodging an FIR.
The next legal option available to you is to make a petition to the District Chief of Police about the non registration of FIR. It is his duty to issue necessary orders to register FIR as per the provision of the CrPC.

application to elaqa magistrate is the option
another option is to file writ mandamus in High Court.
