Ms. Choudhary
You can file the FIR in whichever part of India you reside in; it isn't necessary that you have to reside in Chennai or Bhopal. All that the local police (where FIR is lodged) will do is transfer the same to the police station havng jurisdiction to investigate the same. Hence, if you filed the FIR at Chennai but incident took place in Bhopal, the Chennai Police will transfer your FIR to Bhopal Police.
If you are the affected party & want to file the DV case, you can file the same as it has been recently held that "aggrieved person" u/Sec. 2(a) of DV Act,2005 covers both men & women.
If you have further queries, you can e-mail me at: basu_kunal@hotmail.com.
