Misuse of brand name

Dear Sirs,

We are a company , two unidentified persons-A&B, in the city of  Banglore , misused our company's name and our directors name , and thereby tried to cheat the 'xyz' company in Banglore . A&B tried to close a very big deal in the name of our company , all such transaction were going through the Zoom meeting , hiding faces, but fortunately the  XYZ company somehow got our number and called our director for personal meeting,  without knowing that we are true company , when we confirm we never been a part of such deal ever, they realized , they have been cheated without any damage to them and to us . 

Now we want to file FIR in our city not banglore , but police is denying and saying you have to lodge complaint in banglore or file complaint alongwith the XYZ company. They had inwarded our letter as an information only.

Now that XYZ company is also not taking any action , but we want the police to investigate the matter,  kindly suggest some way.



Quick Summary
A company is seeking advice after two individuals misused their brand and director's names to attempt a fraudulent deal in Bangalore. The intended victim, XYZ company, fortunately realised the deception before any damage was done. However, the original company is facing difficulties filing an FIR in their own city, as police are directing them to file in Bangalore or with XYZ company. They are exploring options, including a complaint under Section 156(3) to a Magistrate, and are concerned about jurisdictional issues.
