Police and public safety

Threat, stalking or harassment outside home

Someone threatens, follows, or harasses you outside your home; this needs an immediate police complaint, not only a grievance.

Start here

Call 112 immediately for protection, and file a written complaint at the police station with who is threatening and since when.

Who is responsible

  • Station House Officer (SHO) / Police StationOfficer in charge of a police station in Bihar, responsible for FIR registration, investigation and first response.
  • Home Department, Bihar (Police)Police administration, law and order, crime records, emergency response and citizen policing services in Bihar.

A threat is a crime in itself, and the station can bind the person down in addition to registering the offence, but the complaint must name the person and describe what was said and when. Immediate safety comes from the emergency call, and the case comes from the written complaint, so both are needed rather than one.
