I asked RTI to my village panchayat samiti about general information about district.
But one of my villager read that RTI in MUMBAI at general meeting that I sent that information to panchayat. There was no question of read that RTI in Mumbai because it was not belonging to my viilage. I rote a letter about complaining to HEAD of Panchayat samiti that no more reason they expose my RTI to outside the panchayat samiti for nore reason and now there is possibilities to beat me by the officer and villagers who expose that RTI. Now POlice stn. had sent me CRPC 160 to present in front of them for statement. So is it nessesory to go to village from mumbai or I can sent my written statement from here to them. What should I do ?

What is the complaint?
If you are the accused in the FIR, you need not go to the police station. The police has to come and inquire you.
u/s 160 cr.p.c the police can call the witness only, not the accused.
