How to Assure Delhi FIR is enforced against Foreigner

I filed an FIR against a foreigner (US Citizen) in Delhi on 9th February for alleged cheating, alleged marriage fraud, alleged assault, alleged forgery and other serious cognizable offenses.

The Delhi police issued me a number, which I am assuming is the FIR number: 1323/Email dated 02/09/2011. The Commissioner's office directed my FIR complaint to JCPT/Crime division three weeks ago.

I provided ample evidence, including two voice recordings of detailed admissions of some of the alleged offenses by the accused, including alleged forgery, alleged assault and obtaining drivers license as a foreigner by alleged bribery.

I provided email in which the accused takes direction from a Pakistani company for which he works and a web posting where that same company seeks to purchase weapons, including surface to air weapons.

I provided emails where the accused speaks against Indian democracy.

I provided more than 30 "damning" documents against the accused for the police and have heard nothing back since 9th February.

How can I assure that there is sufficient investigation and enforcement of my claims? The foreigner is only resident in India until two weeks from now and I have heard nothing back from my FIR application despite email requests for information.

The alleged offenses against this foreign person are serious and warranted - how can I ensure enforcement?

Would it help to contact the Times of India or some other news service to promote enforcement?

Can anyone of you on this board look up my FIR online and tell me the status of the investigation or enforcement, if any? Amy help would be appreciated as I am writing from abroad and cannot visit the police station myself. The accused name is Tipton.

Thank you.

In my opinion what you have done sitting overseas is that you have shoot an Email complaint to D. CP Office at D. PHQ.

If one does a bare reading of your Complaint prime facie if it inferences certain cognizable offences then DP is bound to follow procedures such as lodging FIR which they failed to do so till date and under guise of investigation the matter is kept dormant knowing well your incapacitations (sitting overseas and drawing attention through emails !).

Now, all you have to do is to shoot an RTI to D. PHQ via an Indian National seeking ATR by coining sets of pecuniary questions related to your email Complaint and its fate till date.

However I also feel after bare reading of your query that a copy of your complaint should have also been marked to MHA and PMO's office for early intervention which is not the case in hand.

Now it seems the mouse is already out of the reaches of Indian Law enforcement agencies and we don’t have extradition treaty in place with Uncle Sam !

However all the best.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your reply.

However, I am unfamiliar with what an RTI is, a D. PHQ is (I'm assuming Director of Police Headquarters?). IPC says that I can file even if I am not an Indian National. What is an ATR? An MHA, a PMO. The accused is still in India and I have his travel itinerary including flight ticket copies, so the matter could still be handled if the proper attention were made to the situation.

Also, you never mentioned whether it would be proper/helpful to contact the media in India to prompt police enforcement. Since this is such a brazen foreign alleged offender, would not the newspapers and Indian internet news be interested in the story?

Please advise and thank you again for your reply.
