The RTI activist lodged the report to the Police Station against that employee but the police did not take the report as they told to the activist that the CO shall lodge the report, but the CO did not listen to the activist .

Any one can file an FIR with the police about the commission of an offence and the police are bound to register the FIR. As the police are not for the reasons best known to them regisering the complaint, the activist can certainly file a complaint before the Magistrate who will direct the police to investigate and report.
