If police do not register a complaint

Document your submission, keep receipts, and escalate through official channels. Under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) framework, when information supplied to police is not registered as an FIR, remedies may include approaching a senior police officer and, where applicable, seeking intervention under Section 173(4) (and related provisions) through appropriate legal process.

Complaint submitted │ ▼ Police station │ ┌───┴────┐ │ │ Accepted Not registered │ │ ▼ ▼ Receipt Escalation │ ▼ Senior police / legal aid (15100) │ ▼ Magistrate / lawyer

Always verify current statutory text and seek qualified counsel for your situation. Electronic records and certificates under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam may be relevant to digital evidence—lawyers/investigators should assess what is required in your case.
