This post will give links to various websites of State police departments in India, where one can find FIR and download a copy. Note: these are NOT about filing an FIR (First Information Report), but only to find and download electronic copy of an already existing FIR which has been uploaded by respective state’s police.
The direction to upload copy of FIRs came about due to this judgment by Supreme Court in 2016, the main intention being to protect rights of the accused who by law (CrPC) could not get copy of FIR until filing of charge-sheet by police in court. Now, by having access to online FIR, the accused can easily get the FIR copy (without paying bribes etc), and start preparing for investigation, or defence before impending trial.
How to use the various police websites for FIR view/download below?
- Names of states below are given in alphabetical order.
- For most of the state police websites, the exact FIR registration number is needed. Some of the states allow search of FIR also based on name of accused, complainant, or victim. Those sites makes it very useful for someone who fears an FIR will be filed against him to search for his/her name once in a while to become prepared as soon as it is filed. All that is required is that he/she searches for it regularly (say once a week) on the state police website. Note: Wherever search for FIR is possible on these other parameters, it is mentioned too in the Notes: sub-section.
- Some sites are in English, some in Hindi, and many will have option to use state language if not Hindi. The link to choose language can usually be found on menu bar on top of the webpage.
