Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the process for complaints filed under the SC/ST Act via the National Police Portal. It explains that police can act on online complaints, registering an FIR for cognizable offenses and investigating thereafter. The authority for investigation is typically an officer not below the rank of ACP/DCP, or an Inspector/DSP for the initial investigation. You can also check your complaint status using the RTI Act.

The police can take action based on online complaints.
When an online complaint is received, the police authorities will review the details and assess the nature of the complaint.
If the complaint relates to a cognizable offense (where police have the power to arrest without warrant), the police may register an FIR and begin an investigation. For non-cognizable offenses (where the police need a warrant from a court), they may record the complaint in the General Diary.

After considering contents of complaint the authorities shall conduct investigation by an officer not below the rank of ACP/DCP after registration of FIR.
