Start here

Write to the Superintendent of Police with the FIR or complaint number, the dates of your follow-ups, and what has not been done.

Who is responsible

  • District Superintendent of Police (DSP)District head of police in Bihar, responsible for supervision of police stations and serious criminal cases.
  • Home Department, Bihar (Police)Police administration, law and order, crime records, emergency response and citizen policing services in Bihar.

The Superintendent of Police supervises every police station in the district and can call for the case diary, so a written follow-up with the case number is reviewed rather than filed away. What matters is showing the inaction precisely: the dates of visits, the names asked for, and the stage at which the matter stands.
