yes you have the right to file the Fir and if the police is not taking the cognizance then in this case you can file a direct complaint case in the court of metropolitan magistrate...then the metropolitan magistrate will order the police to investigate in the matter.

there is no matter of delay 3 month, just go to police station file an fir or you also can call to woman helpline no. they will help you immediately. in this situation both person will get punished who done this act and that person also who uploaded the video on YouTube. download the video for the evidence purpose before deleting and also save the link of that video.

Under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), any person can file a complaint before the Magistrate or police officer, and the Magistrate or police officer can take cognizance of the offence and direct the investigation of the same. In your case, if the police have not taken any action against the accused even after the recording and uploading of the incident on YouTube, you can file a complaint under Section 156(3) of the CrPC before the Magistrate or the police officer, seeking an investigation into the matter. You can approach the concerned Magistrate or police officer with all the relevant details and evidence available to you and explain the reasons for the delay in filing the complaint. The Magistrate or police officer, after examining the complaint, may take cognizance of the offence and direct the concerned police officer to investigate the matter. It is important to note that the power under Section 156(3) of the CrPC is discretionary and should be exercised judiciously. You may want to consult with a lawyer who can guide you through the legal process and ensure that your rights are protected.
