1. Complaint made before the Magistrate is Private Complaint and detail entry of an offence in the police diary is called FIR.

2. In your situation it doesn’t look they have made complaint before Magistrate. More likely a formal complaint filed against you with police as people often call FIR as Complaint.

3. The bail which is granted by police in bailable offences is called Station Bail.

4. You can obtain Anticipatory Bail from either Session Court or High Court under 438 Cr.P.C

5. Police files the case based on their Jurisdiction, if the offence committed in the said PS Jurisdiction, you can’t transfer the case from one PS to another.

Hi
Looks like a marital case.
Dont go to police station(begumpet or nampally) without knowing the sections under which the complaint is filed.
Complaint will be converted to FIR at drop of hat by police. So take a lawyers help before going to police station
