You shall have to obtain the details of the aforesaid compromise and further order of cancellation passed by police authorities.
You should contact the concerned police station and should personally go through their relevant record of FIRs if you have no definite date of lodging of FIR. If month and year is known then it shall be very easy.
You can apply through RTI such information.

file a RTI application and ask for
1. copy of the report sent by police to passport office.
2. copy of compromise filed with police
3. whether any inquiry is pending with concerned police station
