You can file a writ or a PIL against the unnecessary use of police sirens in your area. If there are more like minded people to join the petition as a party the better it shall be . However you can file it alone too as an affected individual

You may file a complaint with the local police commissioner or State Human Rights Commission. If nuisance continues, a writ petition in High Court or a civil suit for public nuisance is also possible remedy.

You can file a civil suit, criminal case as well as file a PIL or a writ under Article 21. The Noise Pollution Act also prohibits such action, especially at night between 10 pm to 6 am. You can lodge a complain under Section 283.

Start with a formal complaint letter and an RTI application. If the issue continues, consult a lawyer to explore a public interest litigation (PIL) or a complaint before the State Human Rights Commission.

It is a part of their official duty and not intended to harass any citizen. You may along with other resident of your area may still submit a representation to senior police official for regulated use of sirens at late night hours.
