Email complaint to police dept.


08-Nov-2025 (In Criminal Law)
Hi, I have reported a theft issue to the police department by email the hand-written, signed and scanned copy of complaint letter to the registered emailid of the police station as the police were not taking the case physically. Do I have to appear in person even after signing the complaint letter? is there any difference between typing the complaint in email body and sending the handwritten, signed and scanned complaint letter by email?Do I hv to appear in person in both the cases to the PS?

even if you give your complaint through email you have to appear before the policestation for enquire of your complaint though in theortically they say complaint through email is acceptable but in reality that is not the situation ah yes the email complaint will make you a proof that you tried to register a complaint in that police station it act as a evidence for futher or future process of your case. and email complaint to a police station will not suffice you should send to all the hierarchical officers ac CC then only your case will have any value. yes you have to appear in police station physically,it's a must.
