An FIR can be filed at any police station. The fact that the crime may not have been committed in that police stations jurisdiction has no consequence to the filing of the complaint. It is mandatory for the police to record the information provided, and then transfer it to the police station in whose area/jurisdiction the offence took place. For instance, if a crime was committed in North Delhi, the information can even be registered with a police station in South Delhi.
This concept is generally referred to as “Zero FIR” and was introduced in 2013. Before the introduction of Zero FIR, massive delays were caused because the police station would record the information only in the area where the crime occurred.

Once you have reported the crime by filing an FIR, the officer in charge must send the report to a Magistrate, who will take note of the case without any unnecessary delay, and proceed with the investigation. This is a mandatory step that the police have to follow, as it allows the Magistrate to take control of the investigation, and if necessary give appropriate directions to the police.

Sir & Madam 🙏
Complaint against khokhara police station and jamalpur slaughterhouse AMC corporation.
Satyamev Jayate Jai Hind 🇨🇮.
Subject:-Crime against pigs animal and the prevention of cruelty towards animals and illegal Pig slaughtering meat shop running in middle residence area.
Address:-Sushilaben chali near pasuram Babu Bhai chali bhaipura Khokra ahmedabad 380008.Gujarat
Every Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday illegal Pig slaughterhouse operetor person time 7 AM to 6 PM .
Gujarat High court has permitted AMC to give permission to Meat shop owner to open their shop at a distance of 500 meter away from residency area.
In our area AMC corporation has not done survey about meat shop distance and granted them permission to open inside resident area and they have gone against the Gujarat High Court.
Here 8 illegal Pig slaughter House is running against the Gujarat High court permission still AMC officers doesn’t take any action against them and they just take money from them and go.
Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday this days they Slaught 100 to 150 pigs a day and they doesn’t have any legal permission to Slaught pigs in there shop and they just bring 8 pig meat from jamalpur slaughter house to pretend they bring all there meat from that location because of this situation in residency no one is keen to stay in this area and still AMC officers doesn’t take any further action after lodging complaint 20 to 25 times..they just come here and take money from the shop owner and go.
So plz sir take necessary action against them and solve our problems.
So please visit my society areas seal their shop and licence they can’t open again Pig slaughtering meat shop in middle residence area.
Your faithfully,
