Delhi police press release - certified copy

Hi.. experts

I need to establish a bad character of an accused in the court. I have many copies of FIRs against him in cheating cases, delhi police also issued some press releases of his arrest.

My concern is:-

1. Whether I need to obtain a certified copy of these documents especially press release for submission in court? Given that all this information is already available in public domain getting a certified copy is necessary? Can't I request court to check the website of delhi police containing this information?

2. Will police provide me certified copies of FIRs and press releases etc. through RTI because I am no where connected in those cases?

Thanks & Regards

you can get copies of fir by filing rti before the concerned pio.news paper release is difficult to rely on

Attach screenshots/printouts/copies and apply for certified copies under RTI.

Thanks for responses..

But Mr. Saravanan, that is not a news paper release that is a Press Release issued by Delhi Police and it can be seen on their website also www.delhipolice.nic.in

I just need a certified copy of that release to produce before the court.

and Mr. Kumar I have filed an RTI yesterday and mentioned the date and title of the press release in it. Is that enough for PIO to track back the records.

Thanks and regards
