Protection Against Crime

Protection Against Crime

Victims of crime and their families often do not know where to turn. We help them understand their rights, report crimes properly and get the support they need, while working with communities to prevent crime.

Your Right to Report a Crime

Police must register an FIR for a cognizable offence. A Zero FIR can be filed at any police station regardless of where the crime took place. If the police refuse, you may approach the Superintendent of Police or the Magistrate.

Rights of Victims

Victims have the right to a copy of the FIR free of cost, the right to be informed about the progress of the case, and in many cases the right to compensation under the Victim Compensation Scheme.

Cyber Crime and Online Fraud

Report cyber fraud immediately on the National Cyber Crime Helpline 1930 or at cybercrime.gov.in. Never share OTPs or bank details with callers who claim to be police or bank officials.

Crime Prevention in the Community

We run awareness drives on drug abuse, women’s safety, child safety and cyber crime in schools, colleges and residential areas, and encourage cooperation between citizens and police.
