Hi, if the magistrate has passed an order for investigation and if police aren't investigating then you need to approach high rank police officer with application as complaint against investigating officer to be changed and to get it assigned to new officer. Also, you can move an application to Magistrate under CrPC for intervention in FIR to get directions for calling status report of investigation.

The magistrate's order u/s156(3) of Cr. P. C. mandates that an offence should be registered by the concerned police station as if your FIR was registered earlier when you reported to the police. You may appear in person before the magistrate to know the status of your complaint.
