Yes, a minor can file a complaint, but usually not on their own. In most legal systems, including India, individuals under the age of 18 lack the legal capacity to independently initiate court proceedings. Instead, the complaint or case must be filed through a parent, guardian, or a "next friend" an adult who represents the minor's interests in legal matters. This ensures the child's rights are protected and that the legal process is handled responsibly. So while the minor's grievance can be addressed, it must go through an authorized adult.

yes! in this case, because you are already turned to 18 years old, then you cant take the advantage of the POCSO act, but you may launch an FIR on the name of state where your name would not be disclosed.
